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 performers 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 frequency
You can change how often counts are shown on individual one-bar repeat regions, independently of your project-wide setting; for example, if you want to show the count after eight bars on a single bar repeat region.
