In an arranged score, you use repeat barlines,
endings, and other similar arrangement symbols to
condense the score. For example, when a repeat
happens, the continuous linear measures are folded
back on themselves, like a ribbon, for the length of
the repeated section:
Figure 43-27: In an arranged score, linear measures are folded back
like a ribbon to share arranged score measures.
If, in the example above, we made the repeat a 2x
(“two times”) repeat, meaning that you repeat
twice instead of just once, the linear measures
would flow through the arranged score like this:
Figure 43-28: In this example, the repeat is taken twice, so measures 5
and 6 are included in the repeat, and therefore fall in measures 1 and
2 of the arranged score.
Figure 43-29 below shows an arrangement that has
a repeat followed by first and second endings, along
with how this would look in the QuickScribe
arranged score.
Linear bars and Arrangement bars
A linear bar number is the number of the bar from
the beginning of the unarranged piece, the number
of the bar that appears in the global counter, and
the number of the bar in every other editing
window in Digital Performer. Every bar of music
has a unique linear bar number. The first bar is
linear bar 1.

Figure 43-29: Above, linear bars are condensed into an arranged score with a repeat, combined with first and second endings. Below, this
same example is shown as it would appear in the QuickScribe window, except that the alternate bar menus have all been opened simulta-
neously to show you which linear bars reside in each arranged score measure.
