Hello,
I changed the bar numbers in a score to the way I want it, but I want the parts' bar numbers to stay unaltered. How can I keep the parts' bar numbers original and change the score bar numbers?
Thanks.
With the advent of Dynamic Parts, the parts and score are linked together, which for the most part is a very good thing . . . you can of course extract parts and they are then their own separate files.
Make sure your score is completely finished as corrections in a part of in the score will no longer coincide with each other.
When you say you changed the bar numbers, what do you actually mean? Did you change their style or their placing. Why do you want them to be different in the parts? That could get very confusing during rehearsals!
Can you show us a score that allows us to see what you are trying to achieve? You have obviously managed to confuse some of the brightest members of the forum. Well done. It'll bring the buggers down a peg or two! :-D
Oh sure Mike Lyons; a score is attached in this reply. I like the bar numbers in the score the way they are. But, in the parts I want the bar numbers to be in the top left corner of every system. Also, obviously I still have to fix the title font size in the parts as they are massive...I don't want them massive like they are now. I'd finick around like I usually do in order to figure out what to do, but this time I thought I'd ask the forum since I'm working on other projects at home like starting to give beginning piano lessons and learning marching snare drum as well as start contacting my piano tuning customers for summer tunings.
Set up a text style called, say, BarNumbersinParts, based on the current text style. Make the appropriate changes to position/repetition in the Parts->Part Appearance->All Parts dialog under the Bar numbers section (see attached) this changes the bar numbering in the parts only.
This is made even more confusing because of the way you have set up one style of bar numbering in the score nd then used different bar numbering in some of the parts (Piccolo, for example, has "No bar numbers" selected. You also have rehearsal marks showing as bar numbers. Talk about overkill!
Cobrun still hasn't clarified this verbally. Do we assume from the score (and Mike's comments) that it's the FORMAT - not the actual enumeration - of the bar numbers that is the issue?

I felt it was worth doing to avoid confusion - sometimes people (myself included) forget what we did and having a separate style is good for helping to remember. I did notice that there is already such a text style in the list.
Thanks folks for the help. I got it figured out. And yes, it is the format, not the enumeration. I don't ever imagine wanting to change the actual numbering of the bars between score and parts, just the format. I don't see conductor scores often, but the ones that I have seen have bar numbers for every measure for the conductor while the parts have the typical bar numbers once every system. I am also used to seeing rehearsal boxes (marks) written with the corresponding bar number in the box rather than alphabetic letters.
