Inputting bar repeats
You can input bar repeat regions when at least one bar before the region contains notes.
Procedure
-
In Write mode, select the bars you want to show as a bar repeat.
Note
-
You cannot input bar repeat regions in the first bar of a flow.
-
You can only input bar repeat regions on one staff at a time.
-
- Press Shift-R to open the repeats popover.
-
Enter the appropriate entry for the type of bar repeat region you want into the popover.
For example, enter %2,2 to repeat the previous two bars, grouped in two.
- Press Return to close the popover.
Result
A region of the selected duration is input, in which the specified type of bar repeat symbol is shown in the staff at the intervals specified.
-
You can also input bar repeat regions during note input; however, this inputs bar repeat regions from the bar containing the currently selected note. As bar repeats are mostly shown in empty bars, this is likely to produce unintended results.
-
You can also input bar repeat regions by clicking Create Bar Repeat Region in the Bar Repeats group of the Repeat Structures panel. However, this only inputs a bar repeat region containing single-bar repeats.
After Completing This Task
You can change how bar repeats are grouped.
