You can show individual repeat markers either on a single line or spread across two lines, independently of your per-layout settings; for example, if a single long repeat marker extends beyond the page margins in one part layout. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Note

You can only change the word wrapping of repeat jumps, such as D.C. al Fine and D.S. al Coda, that do not have custom text.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. In Engrave mode, select the repeat markers whose word wrapping you want to change.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Word wrap in the Repeat Markers group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

The selected repeat markers are shown on two lines when the checkbox is activated, and on one line when the checkbox is deactivated. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

When the property is deactivated, repeat markers follow your per-layout setting for word wrapping.

Tip
  • You can show all repeat markers on two lines in each layout independently in Layout Options > Staves and Systems > Repeat Markers. For example, you can show them on one line in the full score but on two lines in part layouts.

  • You can change the arrangement of text and symbol in all repeat markers project-wide, including showing symbols below text, on the Repeat Markers page in Engraving Options.
