Repeat sign in mid measure - how to?

[blj]

Dear Forum:

I'm working on a psalm for next sunday /. and the pretext has a repeat mid measure - How do I make this in finale?

One way is using the Split Measure Plugin. Then add the repeat sign.

… or, even simpler:

Plug-ins menu > Measures > Mid Measure Repeats

By The Way:
You can safely transpose {276. Jeg ved, på hvem jeg bygger} 1 halfstep down, to G Major.
This tune is not too low in G Major.

Do what Zuill said, but for your interest, in olden days before plug-ins and indoor plumbing the solution was to make a ¾ measure on the left side of the repeat and a ¼ measure on the other side, and have them display as 4/4. Good times.

Ahh, the obvious work around is of course to make one measures 3/4 and one 1/4 and place the repetitions in the 3/4 bar. Voila!

Yes. That too. With this plugin, you need to highlight the whole region including the partial measure. For the first repeat section, which doesn't have a repeat sign at the beginning. You would need to delete that after the plugin is applied. With either plugin, there is an extra step or 2.

Zuill mentioned extra steps. For anyone who checks this thread in the future, with the ¾ plus ¼ method you would normally have to exclude the ¼ measure from numbering, but in your case this isn't an issue since you don't have measure numbers.

I do believe both plugins automatically uncheck the option in Measure Attributes to include the second half of the split measure in the measure count. so that doesn't need to be done. One less step to do.
