Repeat/Create First and Second Ending

Select the measure(s) you want to include in a first ending and then choose this menu item to create a first and second ending automatically. The first ending appears above the selected region. A backward repeat bar appears at the end of the selected region, and a second ending appear over the measure following the backward repeat bar. This repeat is automatically defined for playback. When playback reaches the backward repeat bar, it will jump back to the nearest forward repeat bar (or the beginning of the score if a forward repeat bar does not exist earlier in the score), and then skip over the first ending to the second ending on the second pass.
