repeated section. It is used alongside start repeat lines, which show the start of a

repeated section.

End/Start repeat

This line combines the start repeat and end repeat barlines, with either two single

barlines with a single shared thick barline in the middle, or two thick barlines and no

single barlines. On either side, there are either two or four repeat dots. It is used when

a repeated section is immediately followed by another, separate repeated section.

Deleting barlines

You can delete barlines without affecting the rhythmic positions of notes. For example, you

might delete existing barlines and input new ones if you want to change where a barline occurs.

PROCEDURE

1. In Write mode, select the barlines you want to delete.

NOTE

You must select barlines directly, not their signposts.

2. Press Backspace or Delete .

RESULT

The barline is deleted. The two bars either side of the barline combine into one bar, containing

the same number of beats but without changing the time signature. This might cause note, rest,

and beam groupings to change.

AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK

●

To avoid confusion, you can add a new time signature to reect the new rhythmic duration of

the bar.

●

If you deleted barlines because you want to change where they occur, you can input new

barlines at the new positions.
