Describe the bug
If you enable counts for measure repeats in Format / Style /

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set the "Number consecutive measure repeats" option in Format / Style / Measure Repeats
  2. Add several consecutive measure repeats somewhere in your score
  3. See error:numbers are rendered with the same symbols at the same size as multimeasure rests

Expected behavior
A default font that isn't easily mistaken for a multimeasure rest, and the ability to customize it

Screenshots

Platform information

  • OS: Linux

Additional context
Probably we should have a new text style for this, but meanwhile, we should consider simply a smaller size of the current font, or even just using Edwin.

I think it'll be good to have the full normal font selection for this. I've seen a variety of styles (and font-sizes) in the wild for this. It'd be a shame to have to resort to staff texts again for those that wish to use a different style for this text.

In my experience, measure repeats numbers are usually written in a normal serif or sans-serif font. Those multimeasure rest-style numbers sometimes denote repeating multiple bars (2-bar repeat, 4-bar repeat, etc.) which could cause confusion.

Examples:

2-bar repeat
