I'm trying (not successfully) to insert a back to back repeat symbol into a measure in 6/8, after the 5th 8th note. I tried 2 methods: repeat plugin and dividing the measure in 2 (1 in 5/8 and the other in 1/8). It didn't work.
Please help.
Thanks

Dividing the measure in two should work. I used the Split Measure plug-in.

FYI, you don't need to zip .mus files on this forum any more.

OK. I thought zipping a .mus would save space (whereas a .musx is already zipped).

(Not much difference, it turns out, so I won't do that anymore.)

Thanks for your response but what I meant for "back to back" was the 2 symbols should be together, the left one directing to da capo and the right one to the next repeat sign.
Thanks again.
