Could someone please tell me how to raise bar numbers well above the stave so that they are not concealed by the high notes above the stave. I have Sibelius 7.13
Cheers,
John.

Go to Engraving Rules > Bar Numbers > Vertical Position and set the height above the staff to what you need.

You can also select and drag them around like other objects if there are only a few affected.
Sibelius 6.2, 7.5.1, Windows 11

Many thanks for your suggestion. However, I tried that and it didn't work for me. I set the bar numbers at 6 spaces above the top of the staff instead of the standard 2.5, but nothing happened!
Cheers,
John
