Often seen on lead sheets, these shorthand symbols inform musicians reading your score
– and also Notion playback – to repeat the previous one or two measures.
1. Ensure you are in Edit mode.
2. To place a repeat measure sign on your Music Cursor, either:
> Press Shift + 5:
8 Once, for a one-measure repeat:
8 Twice, for a two-measure repeat:
3. In the Entry Palette, hover over the last pane and select your choice of repeat measure
symbol in the pop-up menu.
4. Position your Music Cursor anywhere in the measure that follows the measure(s) you want repeated. This measure
(and the next for a two-measure repeat) should be empty: otherwise, any note currently in the measure(s) will also
sound on playback.
5. Either click your mouse or press Enter.
» Notion takes the responsibility of placing the mark where it belongs.
◙ Automatic placement of one-measure repeat (left) and two-measure repeat (right).
When you play or perform the score, Notion will replay the previous 1 or 2 measures once,
depending on the symbol you selected. If you want, you can further replay the replay
by adding the symbol to adjacent measures beyond as often as you need.
