Repeats popover

The following tables contain the entries for the repeats popover that you can use to input the different tremolos, bar repeats, rhythm slash regions, repeat markers, and repeat endings available.

You can open the repeats popover in Write mode in any of the following ways when either an item is selected or the caret is active:

  • Press Shift-R.

  • Select an existing repeat marker, slash region, or bar repeat and press Return.

  • Choose Write > Create Repeat.

The icon on the left-hand side of the popover matches the corresponding button in the Notations toolbox on the right of the window.
