hello everyone,
is the only way to insert a repeat through the stave properties dialogue?? when i choose the only repeat option i can find i get a repeat in the right spot but after that i cant continue writing to the stave...
G'day kenbker,
a repeat is a decorated bar line. Thus to insert a repeat, you press <Tab> to make a bar line, highlight it, press <Alt-Enter> to get to its properties and select the kind you want.
This is not the only method, you could also:
- Choose Insert from the menu, Bar Line (Decorated) and follow the dialogue
- Press <b>, and follow the dialogue
- Press <Tab>, highlight and <Shift-Ctrl-Up/Dn Arrow> 'till you get the one you want (in NWC2 only)
Hit "B" for insert bar. A bit more straightforward dontchathink?
G'day Rick,
well, that was in my optional methods, but when I'm notating I don't usually worry about the decorated barlines straight away, just press <tab> and keep going. I fix 'em up later...
