How do I add Repeated Sections (Special Endings, Flow Direction, Repeats)?

NoteWorthy Composer supports three different kinds of repeated sections:

1. Master Repeats
   
   These are performed between bar lines that are designated as Master Repeat Open and Master Repeat close. Special Endings are used to control the flow at the end of each repeat.
   
   
2. Local Repeats
   
   These are performed between bar lines that are designated as Local Repeat Open and Local Repeat close. There are not any special flow control mechanisms within a local repeat.
   
   
3. Flow Direction
   
   These sections are performed in traditional performance fashion. You can label a section with a Coda, and then use Da capo or Dal Segno instructions to control the flow of play back between the direction marks.
   

Repeat open and close bar lines are added using Insert,  Bar Line [Decorated]. Special Endings are added via Insert,  Special Ending. Flow Directions are added via the Insert,  Flow Direction command.

In the NoteWorthy Composer program, see the 4 sample files repeat1.nwc - repeat4.nwc (File: Open Sample) for examples. Look at File: Info for each file for a detailed explanation.
