Grouping notes using Repeats
To show Repeats for the grouped notes, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the filter bar is visible in the Score Editor.
If the filter bar is not visible, click the “Set up Window Layouts” button on the
toolbar and select the Filters option.
2. Activate the “Grouping” checkbox in the filter bar.
Now, you see the text “Grouping” below all groups you have created.
3. Select the desired notes.
4. Right-click on one of the notes and from the Group/Ungroup submenu, select
“Repeat…”.
5. In the dialog that appears, use the radio buttons to select the desired note value
for the repeats.
In this example, the “Repeat” feature is used to display two pairs of sixteenth notes as two
eighth notes with “repeat bars”. Note that the second and fourth sixteenth note have only
been hidden – playback is not affected!
6. Click OK to close the dialog.
• Double-clicking on the “Grouping” text opens the Grouping dialog, allowing you to
adjust the “note value” for the symbols.
Creating an accelerando/ritardando
To create an accelerando/ritardando, proceed as follows:
1. Select the notes as described above and select “Accelerando” from the
Group/Ungroup submenu.
A dialog appears.
2. Use the radio buttons to select the desired combination (i.e. define whether you
want an accelerando or a ritardando and specify the desired note values) and click
OK to close the dialog.
Example for accelerando (left) and ritardando (right)
