Lengthening/Shortening segments in repeat endings
You can increase/decrease the number of bars included in each segment of repeat endings by
lengthening/shortening each segment independently.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select the repeat ending you want to lengthen/shorten.
NOTE
You can only lengthen/shorten one repeat ending segment at a time.
2. Select the circular handle at the end of the segment you want to lengthen/shorten.
The selected handle in the middle has a thicker line.
3. Click and drag the handle to the right/left to snap it to the next/previous barline.
NOTE
Segments must contain at least one bar.
4. Optional: Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each segment in the repeat ending.
RESULT
The selected segment is lengthened/shortened.
NOTE
This does not automatically input or reposition repeat barlines. You must input repeat
barlines as appropriate manually.
You can also lengthen/shorten the nal segment in a single repeat ending by selecting the
repeat ending and using the following key commands:
Press Shift-Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to lengthen the nal segment.
Press Shift-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to shorten the nal segment.
Positions of repeat endings
Repeat endings are placed above the staff at the same positions as other system objects, and
their hooks align with barlines. They are commonly positioned outside of other notations, but
some long items, such as gradual tempo changes, can be placed above repeat endings.
You can move repeat endings to different rhythmic positions in Write mode.
