 “\ s” for the name of the currently shown display level, which can be the MIDI region

or folder name (or even the project name, on the highest level).

 “\ d” for the current date (at the time of printout).

Bar Number Parameters

The Bar Numbers checkbox must be activated for the following parameters to have an
effect. Bar numbers can be placed above or below bar lines, and at the beginning of
the line, above or below the clef (they are automatically moved to a position where
they won’t overlap the clef ).

Horizontal Position
Choose either: At Bar Line or At Bar Center.

Vertical Position
The height above the staff. If a negative value is set here, the bar numbers are placed
below the staff.

Step
This value controls the interval (in bars) between the display of bar numbers. A value of
4, for example, results in bar numbers at the first, fifth, ninth bar, and so on. If you only
want bar numbers to be displayed at the beginning of each staff line, set this
parameter to 0.

Bar
This value is added to all actual bar numbers, for display.

Start With
Automatic numbering begins at the bar indicated here.

Hide Bar Numbers in Linear View
Does exactly what it says. Linear view refers to non-Page view.

Count Multiple Rests
Displays the first and last bar number below multiple rests. This makes sense if a
negative Vertical Position value is chosen, causing bar numbers to be shown below
staffs.

Show at Double Bars
Displays bar numbers at every double bar line and repeat sign, independent of the
chosen Step setting. As an example, if Step is set to 0 (and Double Bars is activated) bar
numbers will be displayed at the beginning of each staff line, and above or below all
double bar lines and repeat signs.
