Hi all,
Just a quick question:

I am considering using the Double Winged repeat option to make it look more visible to the performer. Is it safe to use this double winged style for a plain old repeat, or does the double wing give a special meaning that I am not aware of?



Cheers and thanks,
Hector.

I would certainly interpret it as meaning the same as a single-winged repeat, unless someone directed me otherwise…

A better visibility can be achieved differently. How about thickening the lines in Document Options -> Repeats ?
