Rehearsal Marks and Measure Numbering
I was having the most difficult time trying to figure out how to have a score, or part, that had every measure numbered and rehearsal markings throughout. The problem I was having was that I could not remove a single measure number and insert a rehearsal mark. The result would end up with a rehearsal mark laid over the measure number, but that just looked wrong.
So then I discovered a way around it. However, I'm pretty sure this wasn't already thought of. In fact, I'm pretty sure the process of doing this was made for this reason. But I could not find any information on it. So, I created a SS walkthrough for removing a single measure number and creating a rehearsal mark.
This was done using the Musescore version 1.1

Would anyone be able to make one? I'm not sure how to go about making a "How To". Maybe someone can also make a "How To" how to.

Well, it's your work, after all..
Please help! I need to add measure numbers to my score, which is due this week, and I can't figure out how! I've searched and searched, but I can't find anything besides this article, which is heavily outdated! Does anyone know how to fix this?

How do you want the measure numbers on your score?

The measure numbering options are in Style / General / Header, Footer, Numbers. You'll see a variety of options to control which measures should be numbered automatically (eg, every measure, every 5 measures, first measure of every system, etc). You can also override the automatic setting for any particular measure by right clicking it and using Measure Properties.
Rehearsal marks are another matter, they are entered by clicking the first note/rest of the measure and pressing Ctrl+M (or Add / Text / Rehearsal Mark, or add from the Text palette).

Thank you so much, Marc! This was very helpful. (And by that I mean it saved my music career.)
