End repeat barlines typically indicate that the preceding music is played through twice. You can change the number of playthroughs for each end repeat barline individually.

Note

These steps do not apply to repeat barlines inside repeat endings. Instead, you can change the number of playthroughs for the repeat ending.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure
  1. Select the end repeat barlines whose number of playthroughs you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Play n times in the Time Signatures group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.
    Note

    The minimum value is 2.

Result

The number of times the music preceding the selected end repeat barlines is played through is changed.

When repeats are included in playback, repeat counts are shown at system-attached item positions for end repeat barlines that are set to have three or more playthroughs.

Example
Final repeat barline with the default 2 playthroughs set
Final repeat barline with 4 playthroughs set and repeat count shown
