Hi:

So I click the Staff icon, highlight 2 bars and go to Staff > Apply Staff Style To > Score and Parts (or Current Score) and from among the choices, I can select One-Bar Repeat. But Two-Bar Repeat is not available.

Any thoughts?

These choices are document specific. It appears that in some of your documents, it was never created, or was deleted. You can create it if needed. Do you know how to do that?

Matt,

Are you using SongWriter?

Your forum profile says SongWriter, but your profile may not be fully “up to date”.

I do not think that SongWriter can create staff styles.
To get the staff style Two-Bar Repeat, copy the music into a new document that has the Two-Bar Repeat staff style.
