- Click the Repeat tool
; then click the first
ending measure to highlight it. If the first ending is longer than
one measure, click the first measure of the first ending and the hold
down SHIFT and click the last measure of the first ending so all measures
you want to include in the first ending are highlighted.
-
Right-Click the region you just highlighted and
choose Create First and Second Ending. The first ending, backward
repeat barline, and second ending appear in the score. At this point during
playback (upon reaching the backward repeat bar) Finale will go back to
the closest forward repeat it finds, so we’ll add that next.
-
Right-Click the first measure of the repeated section
and choose Create Forward Repeat. You could also double-click the
measure, and double-click the forward repeat bar graphic. This section
is automatically configured to playback correctly. Also, if any measures
are inserted or removed from within the repeated section, Finale makes
the appropriate adjustments so playback continues to jump to the correct
measures as indicated by the repeat markings.
For more advanced repeat indication, such
as nested repeats, to configure playback you may need to specify the target
and number of passes for backward repeat bars manually. See Backward Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box and
Create Ending dialog
box.
Note: You can add
the forward repeat before creating the first and second endings. The order
for the last two steps isn’t crucial.
