Moving measures
Do to Selected Measures> Move (Figure 43-31 on
page 490) allows you to position a selected measure
anywhere in the score. You will be asked where you
want to move the selected measures, and you
specify an arrangement measure location. This
command is seldom needed, but will become
necessary sometimes when you have multiple
endings in a score, with other sections (like a
bridge) occurring in between. After you finish
collapsing the score, you may find that your bridge
lies between your second and third ending, and the
only way to get all of the endings together is to
move the third ending measures just after the
second ending measures.
A suggested approach to hiding measures
In general, when building an arrangement you
want to start at the beginning of the piece and
proceed forward. As soon as you encounter a
measure that is another instance of a previously
played measure, hide that measure under the
previous instance. Later, you can use the alternate
measure menu to select which linear measure
instance is the best representation of the notation
for a given arrangement measure.
The Arrangement palette
To open the QuickScribe Arrangement palette,
choose it from the QuickScribe window mini-
menu. The QuickScribe Arrangement palette
contains tools that work only when you have
selected Show Arranged Score from the
QuickScribe Editor mini-menu, except for the
Time-Anchored Text tool, which can be used in the
linear score view as well.

Selecting any of these tools changes your cursor to
an image of the tool, and allows you to click on the
score to do something.
Begin Repeat: Click near a barline to enter a begin
repeat. Click near the barline again to remove a
begin repeat.
End Repeat: Click near a barline to enter an end
repeat. Click near the barline again to remove an
end repeat.
Fine Bar: Click near a barline to select where the
Fine bar should go. There can only be one Fine Bar
in the score, so if it is already present in a score,
clicking with this tool will move the Fine Bar to
where you click.
Thin Double Barline: Click near a barline to enter a
thin double barline. Click near the barline again to
remove a thin double barline.
Endings: Click and drag over a number of
sequential measures to create an ending bracket. To
extend an existing ending, hold down the Shift key
and drag in the measures after the existing ending.
(This is especially useful if an ending needs to
extend across a page break.)
