Hi.
I've looked all manuals, but I cannot find a way to insert a ritornello in the score. How can I do that?

Actually, if you think about it a Ritornello (Italian for repeat ('estribillo' in Spanish?)) is a concept hard to implement / conceptualize in a linear sequencer like Rosegarden... In theory when you play the playback should 'jump back' when there is a ritornello / repeat as a real musician does when they read it on a score.

So if you think of the linearity of time a ritornello is simply copy/paste (and therefore 'repeat') of the musical part, i.e. the segment(s) in Rosegarden lingo, you want to repeat (but read on if you're after the music notation side of it as well...).

That said, actually Rosegarden has some very nice features to help you work with a ritornellos / repeats / repetitions including:

- Segment repeat: you can repeat a segment 'for ever' (until another segment or end of composition): you see this option as a checkbox in the left pane once you select a segment. Very useful for songs, loop-based music etc.

- Linked segment: this is a segment you copy/paste but then editing one segment (e.g. changing a note) will also edit all other linked segments. This is a bit of a 'hidden feature' and is achieved by pressing together CTRL + ALT and dragging the 'parent' segment to where you want to have your linked segment(s). Notice you can transform a linked segment to a 'normal' one via the Segment menu

- Export to Lillypond [1] and therefore to PDF for printing / sharing a score with detecting repeats and notating them traditionally with repeats and even alternate endings. This is explained very well by Michael in one of the tutorials (and there's even a more detailed explanation of linked segments) - see this link:

Hope this helps.

Lorenzo.
