Page Offset field: This value is added to each actual page number, for display purposes.

This can be useful when writing a piece consisting of several parts, which are saved as
separate project files. To retain continuous page numbers throughout the score, you
can set this parameter to the number of pages contained in all preceding parts (project
files).

Horizontal Distance field: The horizontal distance from the outermost printing position

on the page. This is only relevant for page numbers with the Horizontal Position
parameter set to Alternating or Rev. Alternating.

Vertical Distance field: The vertical distance to the highest or lowest printing position

on the page (depending on whether Vertical Position is set to Top or Bottom).

Hide 1st Page Number checkbox: Prevents the display (and printout) of the page number

on the first page. (All others are displayed and printed.)

Prefix checkbox: Allows you to enter text which will be displayed with every page

number.

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.
