Measure repeat signs

The measure repeat symbol (), often used in rhythm parts, indicates that the measure in which it appears is to be a repetition of the previous measure.

To create a measure repeat sign

1. Click the Staff tool   and select the measures you want to contain measure repeat signs. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
2. Choose Staff > Apply Alternate Notation. The Apply Alternate Notation dialog box appears.
3. Select One-Bar Repeat(s). Click OK. SongWriter hides all the music in all layers, and replaces it with these measure repeat marks.

To restore the music, choose the measures again, choose Clear Alternate Notation from the Staff Menu.
