I added a pickup bar to my score and now that is bar number 1. I don't want that. Can I make bar number 2, bar number 1? Like shifting to the right all the numbers up 1 bar. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't quite understand the procedure. I went to Layout>Numbers and Names>Bar Offset and thought I changed everything to 0, but nothing happened. If you could be more specific I would appreciate it. Thanks again.

Just set the bar offset to -1 and the bar numbers will shift one bar ignoring the pick-up bar.

If you want, you can move your whole arrangement one bar to the right:
  1. At the top, in the bar ruler, hover your mouse at the very first bar line and it becomes a bracket.
  2. Hold the mouse button down and slide to the left. More bars with negative numbers are emerging.
  3. Set a cycle range for one of the negative bars (full measure).
  4. From the local menu, select "Edit > Cut/Insert Time > Insert Silence at Locators". With this, all your regions and automation gets shifted one bar to the right.
  5. Now you can again hover over the very first bar line, see the bracket-pointer, and pull right until the first bar sits where you want it.
If you use a time line also, you may also adjust your time starting point. You can do this in the first line of the tempo list. The first digit in "Position" moves the time ruler bar-wise.

I suggest to save your project before those actions, or better, make a backup copy. After the change, check immediately if everything is ok.

Ab, you're right I was unclear about the arrange window....sorry. Peter, your response worked perfect. I will save that procedure. Thank you both for responding.

I do agree it would be good if the Arrange window would reflect the bar numbering selected so easily in Score.
In what situation would you want the two pages numbering to be different?

Well, sometimes you need some space in the arrangement before the piece starts. Be it to control external hardware or to prepare something. Or you want to create a score that doesn't start at the beginning of the piece.

Anyway, I have better experience with doing the score separately in a separate project, then you don't need the renumbering. I usually do it this way, as my notes don't always sit the way you want them to for musical notation.
