Is there a way to assign the one-measure repeat sign as an expression, as opposed to a staff style? I would like to insert the one-bar repeat sign underneath a drum staff, to signify that the top-staff notes should change, but the bottom-staff notes should remain the same as the measure before.
I've seen in some jazz parts where the drums should keep the same feet parts going, but the hand parts should change; for example, playing a hi hat foot on 2 & 4 for 4 bars, but play the toms in bars 1 and 2, but ride cymbal in bars 3 and 4.
I've attached an example in paint of what I'm looking for; the 2 repeat signs in the red highlight box are what I'm trying to add in Finale.
Windows, Finale 2012c. Thank you!!

Would I do that in a text window? I did it in a text window and the space registered, but nothing actually displayed.

No, create an expression and then you can make a shortcut to the expression so you can apply it with a click.
If you need more details about how to do that, let us know.

You could do it as a text insert, as well. You would have to select the correct font, and then enter the Alt code. Or, enter the alt code, select whatever got inserted in the default font, and change the font after the fact.
