Finale Forum

Does Finale this symble?

Yes.

Those are the symbols for One-Bar Repeat and Two-Bar Repeat.

If your document was created from the Default File, then you will find that it contains ready made staff styles for One-Bar Repeat and Two-Bar Repeat.

If your document was created from an empty Document Without Libraries, then you will have to
- load a library with the two staff styles
or
- create the staff styles yourself.

To make the one or two bar repeat play back, you have to enter the notes into the measure before applying the staff style.

OK you two have lost me. I made this in Finale 27 using the setup wizard.

OK I did some playing around with finale and I was able to do it. See just a little corfusion is all I need. Thanks

Is thisthe same as repeating the notes or is it different? Why not just copy to the next margin?

… Why not just copy to the next margin?

Indeed you could just copy the notes over and over again until all the measures are filled.

But the staff styles One-Bar Repeat and Two-Bar Repeat are more space saving (= a more compact layout).

Most performers understand the symbols for One-Bar Repeat and Two-Bar Repeat.

Space saving. I wish I could teach that to my wife. Thanks It always help to know why.
