In older versions of PrintMusic, using the Jazz Font, the repeat bars had long tails like the hand drawn ones in the Real Book. In 2011, the repeat bars don't have any tails. I asked MakeMusic support and was only told that I should copy over the old files from PM 2010 but didn't specify which files. Does anyone know of a way to make the repeat bars look the way they did in earlier versions of PM?
Thanks,
Wayne

The only thing I can suggest is to open one of your old docs in the new version. If the repeat shows up the way you want it, clear the data, and save that as your template.

Thanks miker. That solution had occurred to me but I wondered if any new repeat signs would look the same (long tails) or would they look like the new short ones. I will definitely give it a try. I just don't know why Finale would change the shape on the newer version when it was just fine.
