Repeat Marker dialog box

How to get there

The Repeat Marker dialog box can be accessed in two ways depending on whether you're adding a new marker or editing an existing one:

Choose Utilities > SmartMusic Markers.
Select Repeats from the marker list on the left and click Add.

Or,

Select an existing repeat marker from the Marker window and click Edit.

It is recommended that you scan the document to define all repeat markers automatically by selecting Create/Update Repeat Markers in the Add SmartMusic Markers dialog box. Then, edit these parameters if necessary.

What it does

Use the settings in this dialog box to control the type and measure assignment for the Repeat Marker you are adding or editing.

Rehearsal Mark • Bar. Choose a rehearsal mark or specify the bar you want to add a repeat marker.
Repeat Type. From this drop-down menu, select the type of repeat marker you want to add.
Repeat Number. Specify the (chronological) number of the repeat. For example, if this is the second repeated section in the document (regardless of the repeat marker you are adding), enter 2 here.
Repeat Iteration. Enter the pass you want this repeat marker to apply. For example, if this is the second time through, and you are defining the “To Coda” sign for a “D.S. al Coda”, enter 2 here.
Active on Pass. Here, you can enter the pass on which this repeat marker should apply. This setting refers to the absolute number of passes, and only differs from the Repeat Iteration setting if there are nested repeats in the document (repeats within repeats).
OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, the settings you’ve made in this dialog box; you return to the score.
