SW 2012 for Windows. Is it possible to insert a repeat barline in the middle of a measure, instead of at the end? For example, I have a song in 4/4 where the phrase for Section 1 ends on beat 3 of measure eight, then repeats once. Section 2 starts on beat 4 of measure eight, and the phrase ends on beat 3 of measure 15, then repeats once.

In this example, I'd like to put a repeat sign after beat 3 in measure eight, and another after beat 3 in measure 15.

How do I do this?

Thanks,
Larry

Sorry, SongWriter can't do that - it is a limitation of SongWriter.

(In the "full Finale" a mid-measure repeat is done easily with a plug-in)
