How do I add repeated sections?

NoteWorthy Composer supports three different kinds of repeated sections:

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.
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.
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) (reference). Special Endings are added via Insert, Special Ending (reference). Flow Directions are added via the Insert, Flow Direction command (reference).

The program includes several sample files that demonstrate the use of these repeat instructions. Look for the samples that start with repeat in their name.
