Number bars automatically:
If checked, the layout will have its bars numbered automatically.
First bar in each system:
If selected, the first bar in each system of the layout will have a bar
number attached. The checkbox Except on first system will affect the bar
numbering so, that the very first system will not have a bar number
attached.
All bars:
If this option is selected, all bars in the layout will have bar numbers
attached.
Every:
If this option is selected, every n:th bar (the number is to be written in the
textbox) of a the layout will have a bar number attached to it. The checkbox
beginning at bar determines where the bar numbering is to begin.
Location:
This pop-up menu determines where the bar number is to be inserted in
proportion to the staff it is attached to. The available options are “above
staff”, “below staff”, and “left of staff”.
Justification:
This pop-up menu determines the justification of a bar number: they can
be “left”, “right” or “centre”.
Horizontal offset:
The horizontal offset has different meanings in different contexts. If the
bar number is to be placed left of a staff, a positive horizontal offset means
the number will be placed further to the left (since this is the “offset”
direction). In the two other cases, a positive horizontal offset means placing
the bar number further to the right, as usual in a coordinate system.
Vertical offset:
Also the vertical offset has different meanings in different contexts. If the
bar number is to be placed above or to the left of a staff, a positive vertical
offset means the number will be placed higher up. However, if the bar
number is to be placed below a staff, a positive vertical offset means placing
the bar number further down.
