General Discussion / Re: Local and master repeat / special endings
Thanks, Richard and David, for your clear answers.

As a mathematician, I assumed the repeat open and close always should appear in pairs, (eventually nested (in which case the last close refers to the first open (as is the case with brackets))):-).

Assuming that, my conclusion was that you could'nt have more than 2 iterations with master repeats (because you can only specify how many repeats are needed in local repeats), so how could one ever reach the 3th special ending?

But now I uderstand : you can put more than 1 master repeat closes, (each with its own special ending(s)), and they all go back to the same master repeat open.

Right? (If so, I don't expect an aswer (unless you prefer to of course))

I also looked at the repeat examples as you suggested, Richard. Another thing I understand now is that a master repeat can be put inside a local one (as you can observe in repeat1.nwc). Again I was misled by my logical mind (and by the Help file, which says about local repeats : "These loops can be nested inside a master loop which contains special endings.").
Of course, to be honest (an logical): that doesn't imply that the opposite is excluded.
Conclusion: Music is'nt mathematics, and music doesn't have to be logical! So it doesn't have to be boring either.

General Discussion / Local and master repeat / special endings
Quote from the help File :

Local Repeat Open/Close: A special form of sectional repeat symbols. These allow a section to be repeated for a specified number of iterations without specifying special endings for each iteration. These loops can be nested inside a master loop which contains special endings. Special endings do not apply to local repeats. Attempts to combine local repeats and special endings will yield unpredictable results. Unlike master repeats, local repeat loops are performed even after a D.S. or D.C. flow direction has been executed.

Master Repeat Open/Close: Sectional repeat symbols for repeating a section. Each repeat should specify a special ending prior to the closing repeat symbol (see Special Ending Command). The closing repeat mark is ignored after a D.S. or D.C. flow redirection has been initiated.


So if I understand it well:
- Only in a 'local repeat close', you can specify how many repeats are needed
- Only in a 'master repeat close', special endings are taken into account

My questions:
- What if I want three iterations, each with a different ending ? 
- More general :How can one use the 3th until 7th special endings that are possible to mark?
- Is this specific for Noteworthy or is it due to music theory (which I don't know much about) ?

General Discussion / Re: Keeping a note playing?
Can someone tell me more about "barbershop" music, please?
 I'm in a male choir with a mostly 'swinging' repertoire (like "sunny side of the street", "always look on the bright side of life", "The lion sleeps tonight", "the Muppet Show theme", ... to give you some idea).

I have the feeling that barbershop music is something that would fit in very well. Is that correct?
