Repeat tool

• Double-click a measure to display the Repeat Selection box, where you can create either a repeat barline or a text repeat to insert into the score (and define it for playback, if you wish).
• Click a text repeat handle to select it; shift-click to select an additional one. Press delete to remove any selected text repeats.
• Drag a text repeat handle to move the text repeat in any direction (in all staves simultaneously).
• Click a repeat barline handle to select it; press delete to remove it.
• Drag a repeat barline bracket handle up or down to make the bracket taller or shorter (or, in the case of the open end of the bracket, drag left or right to lengthen or shorten the bracket).
• Double-click a repeat barline handle (or its bracket handle) to display its Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box, where you can change the playback effects of the repeat barline.

Contextual menus are reached by control-clicking on a measure or the handle of an object. A contextual menu will be displayed where you can select various items. Some context commands, such as Create Simple Repeat requires a measure selection. See Selecting music.
