1st and 2nd Endings
Following the insertion of one of the repeat endings, text entry mode is automatically
activated. The default text is “1.” and “2.”. If suitable, confirm with Return. If unsuitable,
you can freely enter any text into these brackets. The bracket which defaults to “2.” is
open—without a vertical end line, like the “1.” ending. As the text can be changed, you
also can create a 2nd ending with a vertical line, for example. The font, text size and
style of these numbers or text elements is set in the Text Style window (see “Text
Styles” on page 425) (Text Style Repeat Endings). To edit the text, double-click directly
on it, which activates text entry mode, indicated by a flashing text cursor.
A 1st or 2nd ending can be moved by dragging its upper left corner. The length can be
changed by dragging the right end. If a repeat ending is selected, it can be deleted
with Backspace.
Between the staves in scores, or multi-staff Score Styles—repeat signs and the various
special bar lines are connected across the staves in accordance with the Instrument Set
and/or Score Style window settings. First and second endings are only displayed on
staves with bar lines that aren’t connected to the staff above.
The Alternate Repeat Symbols (for the whole song) option in Layout > Global Settings
activates a “Real Book” style display of repeat signs.
Note: These symbols have no impact on MIDI playback.
Trills, Tremolo, and so on
The symbols in this group can be positioned anywhere, and are not attached to notes.
The trill line and arpeggio lines can be set to any length, by dragging their end points.
The trill line can also span line breaks. The accidental symbols in this Part box group are
purely graphic, and do not affect the MIDI playback of notes. They are mainly intended
as a supplement to trill symbols.
