Adding additional repeat endings with the popover

You can have more than two possible endings in each repeat ending structure by adding additional segments using the repeats popover. You can add repeat ending segments both during note input and by adding them to existing music.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
    • Start note input.

      Tip

      During note input, you can select additional notes before/after the last input note without deactivating the caret by pressing Shift-Right Arrow/Shift-Left Arrow.

    • Select the bars that you want to include in the additional ending.

      Note

      Your selection must start from the first bar following the previous repeat ending segment.

  2. Open the repeats popover in any of the following ways:
    • Press Shift-R.

    • In the Notations toolbox, click Popovers Popovers button, then Repeats Repeats button.

  3. Enter add into the popover.
  4. Press Return to close the popover.
  5. Optional: Repeat these steps as many times as required for the number of additional endings you want.

Result

A new repeat ending segment is added. The existing previous repeat ending segment now ends with a closed line, with an end repeat barline created if necessary.

Tip

You can also add additional repeat ending segments by selecting the repeat ending and changing the value for No. endings in the Repeat Endings group of the Properties panel.

However, No. endings only adds additional repeat ending segments that contain one bar, and does not automatically input or reposition repeat barlines. You must input repeat barlines as appropriate manually.
