Moving repeat endings rhythmically

You can move repeat endings to different rhythmic positions after they have been input so they apply to different bars.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the repeat ending you want to move.
    Note

    You can only move one repeat ending rhythmically at a time.

  2. Move the repeat ending to the next/previous bar in any of the following ways:

    • Press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to move it to the right.

    • Press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to move it to the left.

    • Click and drag it to the right/left.

Result

The selected repeat ending is moved to the next/previous bar.

Note

  • This does not automatically input or reposition repeat barlines. You must input repeat barlines manually as appropriate.

  • Only one repeat ending can exist at each rhythmic position. If any part of a selected repeat ending collides with any part of another repeat ending as part of its move, the other repeat ending is deleted. However, its repeat barlines are not deleted.

    You can undo this action, but any repeat endings deleted in the process are only restored if you moved the repeat ending using the keyboard.
