Hi. First post here. I'm using the Plug-In/Measures/Number Repeated Measures plug-in. It works, but the numbers that appear above the measures don't match the Jazz Font scheme I'm using. Where can I go to adjust the font for these?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I think the best you could do would be to move them to a new category you create for the purpose, then select them all and do "reset to category font."

You may like JW Pattern, which will create the numbers in a category of your choice. It won't find the repeated measures for you though--you have to tell it which to number. Another advantage though is you can set up a category with better horizontal placement than the MakeMusic plug-in gives you.

That sounds great, but how do I move "them"? It's a plug-in, not an expression. Not sure how to go about that. Thanks for the help.

The numbers are expressions. I believe the plug-in puts them in the Miscellaneous category.
