Measure numbers on voice and piano score
I'm creating a score with solo voice and piano accompaniment. I would like to have measure numbers on the vocal staff and either above or below the piano. MuseScore puts measure numbers on both the treble and bass clef of the piano. It looks really messy. Is there any way to only have measure numbers above or below the piano?

Actually, the measure numbers would be OK on the piano, if the bass clef numbers were under the staff. Any way to do that?

It is rather easy to select every existing measure number on a staff and do something with it. right click any number and choose select>all similar elements on same staff. You can then make them invisible if you want by pressing v. Another option is to move them below the staff by opening the inspector and setting the Y offset to 6.5 or 7 (these seem like good number to me, but you may want a different number). If you have them all selected, they will all move at once. Keep in mind, this only affects existing numbers. If you add measures, you will need to do it again. In the case of the offset, the number will be blue to tell you some offsets have been changed by you previously. If you have chosen the offset of 7 and there is a blue 7, then change the number to something else, then back to 7 and all selected measure numbers will have that Y offset. For invisible numbers click the "visible" box in the inspector so the check is removed then entered. This will make all of the selected numbers invisible. If you simply press v, all invisible numbers will become visible and visible numbers will become invisible.

Thanks!

Probably, though, there should be another option in the measure number style settings for "All instruments" as opposed to "All staves".
