For example, if you use the prefix Page, the word Page, followed by a space and the actual
page number, is displayed on each page. This means that page three will display Page 3. If you
want the page number in the middle of the prefix, you need to use the # symbol as a variable
for the page number. For example, “- pg.# -” on the second page prints as “- pg.2 -.”
You can also use the following text symbols to include automatically generated text in the
prefix:

“\ i” for the score set name

“\ n” for the project (file) name

“\ 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 Numbers settings

Bar Numbers checkbox: Select to turn on the display of bar number parameters.

Horizontal Position pop-up menu: Choose either At Bar Line or At Bar Center.

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

Step field: 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 Offset field: This value is added to all actual bar numbers, for display.

Start With field: Automatic numbering begins at the bar indicated here.

Hide Bar Numbers in Linear View checkbox: Linear view refers to non-Page Score view.

“Follow staff size” checkbox: Displays bar numbers according to staff size.

“Count multiple rests” checkbox: 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” checkbox: Displays bar numbers at every double bar line and repeat sign,
independent of the chosen Step setting. For example, if Step is set to 0 (and Double Bars is
activated) bar numbers are displayed at the beginning of each staff line, and above or below
all double bar lines and repeat signs.

“Top/bottom staff only” checkbox: In full scores, the bar number is only displayed above the top
staff, if this option is selected. (A negative Vertical Position value results in the number being
shown below the bottom staff.)

Instrument Names settings

Instrument Names checkbox: Select to turn on the display of instrument name parameters.

Position pop-up menu: Choose from Above Staffs or Beside Staffs.

Align pop-up menu: Refers to the space preceding staffs. Choose either Left (at the left margin)
or Right (at the right margin).

1st Staff pop-up menu: Choose one of the following to display the instrument name at the first
staff: No Names, Short Names, or Full Names.

Other Staffs pop-up menu: As above, for other staffs.
