I can't seem to find how to do a 1or 2 measure repeat. All I can find is the double bar line type of repeat.

Thanks!

Those are done in the Staff Tool. They are each a Staff Style.

Be aware that if you want them to play back, you have to put the notes in those measures, before applying the staff style.

You can just highlight the measures in the Staff tool and press O for "one" or T for "two".
