Repeats play a section over one or more times before moving on. Notion
reads and follows these markings during playback.
Place Repeats
It does not matter which sign you Enter rst (the start or the end repeat sign). For brevity, this procedure has you place
the end repeat sign rst, since this is the default for the keyboard shortcut, but that is not a mandatory sequence.
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. To place an end repeat sign on your Music Cursor, either:
> Press Shift + ; once, or
> In the Entry Palette, click the last pane and select the end repeat sign from the
pop-up menu.
» Notion places a representation of the end repeat bar line on your Music Cursor.
3. Position the Music Cursor over the existing bar line you want to replace.
4. Click your mouse or press Enter.
» The end repeat sign replaces the existing bar line.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to select the start repeat sign.
6. Position the Music Cursor over the existing bar line you want to replace.
7. Click your mouse or press Enter.
» The start repeat bar line replaces the bar line. You now have a repeat that Notion will follow during playback. You
can place as many repeats as you want throughout a score.
Specify How Many Times to Repeat
By default, measures between repeat marks play a total of two times and then move
on. But you can change the total number of repeats to a higher number.
1. With the Pointer, double-click the end repeat sign on the score.
» A temporary text box appears at the top of the score.
2. Enter the number of repeats you want.
3. Either click anywhere in the score area away from the box or press Enter.
» Notion places an x (“times”) in this position after the number you Entered.
Indicators During Playback
During playback, the Heads-Up Display updates you on where you are in a
repeat. The numbers between the repeat marks shows:
8 The number to the left of the slash mark is how many times through the repeat you are now.
8 The number to the right of the slash tells you how many total times the score indicates to repeat.
Bottom of HUD, first time through a repeat.
