Text repeats are used to define any repeat indication that appears as text, including Fine, To Coda, D.S. al Coda, etc. Like repeat barlines, text repeats can display graphically without affecting playback, or they can be used to direct playback to the appropriate measure.

To place a text repeat in your score

1. Click the Repeat tool  ; then double-click the measure you want to contain the repeat. The Repeat Selection dialog box appears.
2. Select the text repeat you want to use from the list on the left. If the text you want to use does not appear in this list, click Create to define a new text repeat. Or, select a text repeat and click Edit to change one. See Repeat Designer dialog box for more information regarding creating and editing text repeats.
3. Click Select. The Text Repeat Assignment dialog box appears which offers several options for defining the appearance and playback definition. See Text Repeat Assignment dialog box.
4. Click OK. The text repeat appears in the score.

For information on setting up common repeat configurations, see Coda, D.S. al Coda, and D.C.
