Notation reference
Bar repeats
Bar repeats indicate that the musical material in preceding bars must be repeated exactly, but without notating that material again. Bar repeats can comprise groups of one, two, or four bars.
Bar repeat counts
Bar repeat counts are numbers shown at regular intervals either above or below bar repeats, to help players keep track of how many bars have passed. The intervals are usually based on typical musical phrases, such as every four or eight bars.
Changing the bar repeat count appearance
You can show individual bar repeat counts with or without parentheses, or not show any repeat count at all. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.
