To place a marking into the score

1. Click the Repeat tool .
2. Double-click the measure in which you want the sign to appear. The Repeat Selection dialog box appears. If you’ve loaded a Text Repeat Library—or if the Maestro Font Default file is in place—you should see the sign. If you don’t see the marking: click Create; the Repeat Designer dialog box appears. Type a % symbol (SHIFT+5); click Set Font to change the type style to Maestro 24-point. Click OK to return to the Repeat Selection dialog box.
3. Double-click the sign. The Text Repeat Assignment dialog box appears. If you don’t need to make the marking control playback, click OK without changing any settings; you return to the document, where the marking is in place. Also see Moving, hiding, or deleting a text repeat.

   If you want to define the marking for playback, note the Text Repeat ID of the marking. This indicator appears at the top left of the dialog box, in the form of “Text Repeat ID: 9” (or whatever number Finale has assigned). You’ll need to remember this number for a moment.

4. Click Never Jump (Mark). You’ve just defined this text repeat to be a mark—in other words, a marker to which other text repeats (“D.S.,” in this example) will direct playback.
5. Click OK (or press ENTER). The sign appears in all staves. See Moving, hiding, or deleting a text repeat. Click in the measure and drag the handle to reposition.
