Bar numbers should already be present in the standard place by default - above the first measure of each system. If you wish additional bar numbers to be placed according to some regular interval (like every measure), you can set this in Format / Style / Measure Numbers (aka Bar Numbers, in the UK). If you wish a specific measure to show the numbers, enable this by right-clicking the measure in question, Measure (Bar) Properties, and set the number to always show. Or, consider adding a rehearsal mark instead (Ctrl+M, or use the Text palette or Add / Text).
Thank you Marc. Apologies or the late reply, especially when you were so fast in answering me. Your info was quite helpful, the right-clicking on the bar in particular. In the past week or so I've come somewhat more to grips with Musescore though my efforts are generally directed only to loading my choir's music from PDFs, adding the lyrics omitted and making audio files of the score and its parts. In the most recent song I found the Tools/Bar menu very useful in removing some extra quavers the system had downloaded into bars.

The instructions to add numbers to each bar does not work for me. When I go to Format and Style and select bar numbers, there is nowhere on that page for me to add numbers to each bar. It has "show first", "All staves", "every system" "interval". When I enter the number 1 in "interval", nothing happens. I would be very grateful if someone could advise.
Hi Jojo, thanks for replying. I've gone back in and had another try and realise that I needed to untick the Every System box for the for the Interval box to work. Ok, so that's sorted. However, I would like the numbers to be below the great stave. At the moment I only seem to be able to manage to get them below the treble staff and not the bass staff even though I have chosen Vertical Placement to be Below. The other question I have is how do I create 4 bars of rest in 1 bar without losing the count of the bars. thanks
And one final question is how do I get the chord symbols for the piano, closer to the staff? I can change the extension and modifier scaling but not the placement of the chord. The positioning seems to relate to guitar more than piano? thank you
Measure numbers under the system or part is not yet implemented.
You could have measure numbers for every staff, move them all below and make those you don't want invisible. Pretty cumbersome
Hi I've had an issue with getting style settings in general to work, I adjust the settings and they appear on my score but then they dissapear when I close the style box

Actually, I have worked out how to create 4 bars of rest in 1 bar - I just needed to find the right language, so that is sorted. Thanks

Perhaps you are closing the Style screen before clicking the OK button at the foot of the screen?
