Hello, I have a piece with a lot of repetitive figures and wish to insert repeat symbols for the second half of this measure, for example: https://imgur.com/a/W2yNi6H. How could I go about this?

If I right-click a selected region and try to apply a Staff Style, there are only one- and two-bar repeat signs available. Will I need a plug-in for this type: https://d4u3lqifjlxra.cloudfront.net/up ... repeat.jpg?

Also, it's been a while since I've been active here. For future reference, is there an easy way to embed screenshots into a post? I'm on a Macbook. I tried attaching the screenshot (png) in the first link but it said it was too big, it was 557 KB.

If you have a paint or photo program, decrease the color depth of the image. 256 colors is plenty, or even 16.

Try the slash notation staff style. It will put a slash on every beat.

I'd fully write out the first instance of the pattern so it can be seen in its entirety. Then, where you use slashes, write "sim." (simile) above the first slash.
