Greetings!

I’m now working on a double bass part which needs extensive cues. I have used two staves with all the cues on the upper stave, reduced to 70% and with the double bass part on the lower stave, increased to 110% (for my failing eyesight!).

This means that the bar numbers at the start of each stave are at a different size. Is there any way to show the bar numbers at the same size? Suggestions welcomed!

Edit the measure Number Region:

For the measure number font, change the font size to Fixed Size.

Greetings Peter!

Goodness me - an easy solution which I should have been able to work out myself.

Many thanks - the part looks much better now!

Andreo another way which has many options is, you can have separate measure number regions. This way you can have any font size you want along with any placement being able to move independently.
