3. Text bers page of House Style Engraving Rules, and choose the desired format from the drop-down menu: 10: bar numbers are only drawn once, but any bar numbers after repeated sections take the
number of repeated bars into account 10 (20): bar numbers for repeated bars are drawn in parentheses; this is the default option 10/20: the repeated bar numbers are drawn after a slash 10–20: the repeated bar numbers are drawn after a dash. The effect of each of these options is shown below:

If you are using Bar number as the format for your rehearsal marks (on the Rehearsal marks page of House Style Engraving Rules), note that Count repeats will also change the display of rehearsal marks.
Selecting bar numbers You can select bar numbers like any other object, but beware that while you can move and hide selected bar numbers (see below), you can’t copy bar numbers, nor can you delete them. (You can, however, copy and delete bar number changes – see Bar number changes below.) To quickly select a group of bar numbers, you can: Select a single bar number, then choose Edit Select Select More to select all bar numbers
along that system; or Select a passage of music, then choose Edit Filter Bar Numbers to select only the bar numbers in those bars; or Make a marquee selection, using Shift-drag or -drag. Once you have a range of bar numbers selected, you can move or hide them; see below.
Moving bar numbers Bar numbers can be moved horizontally or vertically – just select one or more bar numbers and then drag them with the mouse or nudge them with the arrow keys (with Ctrl or for bigger steps). To reset bar numbers to their original positions, select them and choose Layout Reset Position (shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P or P). If your bar numbers are also shown above or below other staves in your score, dragging one bar number also changes the position of that bar number above or below the other staves on which it appears.
