If there is a section of a score you want playback to skip over, you could remove it by deleting . But then the
deleted measures are gone and must be re-Entered if you discover you need to re-instate this section (or a
portion of it) . With the Cut Marks feature you place text marks in the score where you want Notion to skip
during playback (both play and perform) . This way, you have the equivalent of a delete, but you retain the
original notation in the file if you ever need to access it anytime in the future (simply delete the cut marks) .
The “skip” pertains to all instruments (all staves) in the system . The cut start and end marks appear
above the topmost staff in the system . In the example below, the first ending will always be
skipped in playback (you proceed directly to measure 68 after completing measure 65 .
NOTE: This unique feature can be confused with a more common
cut (remove) feature where you
remove a portion of your score to either discard or to paste in another place in your score .
