Notating Repeats

2013-08-30 08:13 am

I'm notating a song with three verses and need to show the repeat count on the individual instrumental parts. Normally with a piano score you wouldn't bother because you can see the verses.

Usually this would be done with a separate third time bar (with perhaps a different pick-up), but in this case there is no such difference.

Do I still need to notate a full separate bar or can I just put the 1/2¬ repeat mark up against the Repeat bar line?

Perhaps this:

Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]

!NoteWorthyComposer(2.5)
|StaffProperties|EndingBar:Open (hidden)
|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-1
|Bar
|Note|Dur:Whole|Pos:-1
|Ending|Endings:1,2|VertOffset:4|Visibility:Never
|Text|Text:"Repeat twice"|Font:StaffItalic|Pos:8|Justify:Right|Placement:AtNextNote
|Bar|Style:MasterRepeatClose
!NoteWorthyComposer-End

Another idea is to layer a tempo track into each instrumental part. That part would contain everything all parts need to see like tempo, tempo variences, rehearsal symbals, and repeat information. Printing Parts For Ensemble Members

Thanks for the suggestions. You both seem to confirm that notating specific endings requires that they are shown with at least a bar of music (as Alfred indeed hints).
