Nested repeats for two verses with two-line chorus

2003-03-06 10:17 pm

I'm a new user of NoteWorthy Composer & have run into a problem I cannot seem to find an answer to:- I am scoring a piece of music which has 2 verses and a chorus after each verse. The chorus itself is repeated with a different lyric on the 2nd time, and has a 2 bar "interlude" between the two repeats. Intention is to play verse 1, then the chorus (twice, with the interlude between) then a "brief ending bar", then back to play verse 2 of the song, then the chorus as before, then end on the "brief ending bar". All attempts to do this causes the piece to stop abruptly at the end of the first pass through the chorus on the second song verse. I use master repeat around the chorus to achieve the 1st. (interlude) pass then the second "brief ending bar" but how do I score the verses to play? Using another set of repeat barlines obviously won't work as intended. TIA James :-)

Have you tried the "local" repeat bars WITHIN the "master" repeat bars? I've used that, in conjunction with the "Special endings" to avoid duplicating bars. Sometimes it takes a bit of experimentation. Hope that helps.
