Hello,
I'm using an odd clef (treble octave higher) and am getting collisions with the measure numbers. What's the best way to fix this?

You are editing a linked part (not a score), right?

You only need to move the measure numbers in the parts, not in the score, right?

Document menu > Edit Measure Number Regions…
Click the chiclet Linked Parts.
De-select “Use Score Settings”.
Click the button “Position…” to set the measure number positioning.

No, it’s the score. Well, it’s music for a single instrument (just one staff). Does it make a difference in this case? I’m not sure.

In that case, click the chiclet Score (instead of the chiclet Linked Parts).

You can either drag the number with the mouse or type a new number in the box.
