Text repeats are similar to expressions in that a single text repeat can be assigned to multiple staves (see Repeats (barlines and text indications)), which has some implications for linked parts.

When you first add a text repeat (Fine, To Coda, D.S. al Coda, etc), positioning changes to that item in the score apply to all parts. If a text repeat or bracket is repositioned in a part, the change does not affect other instances in the score or other parts, and future positioning changes to that text repeat in the score do not apply to that part. However, if a text repeat is repositioned in a part containing multiple instances of that text repeat, all instances in the part are broken (and all instances of that text repeat in the part continue to move uniformly).

Broken text repeats in parts can be relinked to the score at any time (see Relinking part items to the score).

The “Allow individual edits per staff” setting in the Text Repeat Assignment dialog box, Backward Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box, and Create Ending dialog box allows you to reposition, hide, or show an instance of a repeat marking without applying the same changes to other instances of that repeat marking on other instrument staves.

• If Allow Individual Edits per Staff is checked for a repeat marking in the score, every instance of that repeat marking in the score can be edited independently - linked instances of that repeat marking in parts continue to respond to score changes accordingly.
• Checking this box for a repeat marking in a part breaks the positioning and show/hide link for all instances of that repeat marking in the part - each instance of that repeat marking in the part can be edited independently. All other linked instances of that expression in other parts continue to move in uniform with edits made to that repeat marking in the score. (All repeat marking in the score turn orange indicating this repeat marking has been broken in at least one part).
• Broken instances of a repeat marking in a part containing multiple staves can be edited uniformly or independently depending on this setting. However, note that changing the state of this check box always breaks the link for all instances of the repeat marking in the part.
