I think that what you are looking for is a way of simultaneously marking the end of the second time ending, and the beginning of the next repeat? Almost any of the "fancy" barlines will work here, but probably :: is what you want (you should get a heavy double bar with a pair of dots on each side). Alternately, the regular forward repeat |: can also serve to terminate a second ending (you should get a thick-thin bar with the dots on the right only). If the second repeat is at the end of a line, use |] and put the |: at the start of the next line. Phil Taylor To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
