Changing the index for repeat markers

You can change the index of individual repeat markers, for example, if a flow requires two different codas with different symbols so players can tell them apart.

By default, all repeat markers of the same type have the same appearance, even when there are multiple repeat markers in the flow.

Note

You cannot change the index of Fine or D.C. repeat markers.

Procedure

  1. Select the repeat marker whose index you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together as appropriate for your selection, in the Repeat Markers section:
    • Marker index

    • ‘Jump to’ index

  3. Change the values in the value fields.
    Note

    You can only enter values between 1 and 3.

Result

Marker index changes the order of the selected repeat marker relative to other repeat markers of the same type.

‘Jump to’ index changes the destination of the selected repeat marker.

Tip

You can change the default appearance of all multiple repeat markers project-wide in the Repeat Sections section of the Repeat Markers page in Engrave > Engraving Options.

Example

If you have two codas in a flow with two different D.S. al Coda markers, you might set Marker index to 1 for the first coda and 2 for the second, then set ‘Jump to’ index to 1 for the first D.S. al Coda marker and 2 for the second.
