[Finale] repeat signs on individual staves

2008-01-23 Thread arabushk
I am currently working on a section where individual groups of string players repeat different patterns until the conductor cuts them off. This calls for placing individual repeat signs on several staves, many of which don't line up with one another. I looked through the manual to find out how to

You can now do this with a staff stye that will hide the repeat on the staves where you do not want them to show. On Jan 23, 2008, at 2:50 PM, A-NO-NE Music wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 08.1.23 / 3:16 PM wrote: I am currently working on a section where individual groups of string players
