Hi folks, I’ve forgotten where this is. How can I change the repeat sign in the pic to the standard setting, so that the “wings” on top/bottom are not there?
I can’t find it in Engraving Options, where I would expect, and searching for “changing appearance of repeat signs” and similar doesn’t answer the question.
Thanks Rob. It would be logical to find it under Engraving Options > Repeats, I think.
And often, I have trouble searching the manual and on-line help because my search words may be very slightly different from the Dorico terminology. I didn’t think of the word “wings” until I was writing my question!
Thanks again.
I certainly don’t blame the OP on this; this is one of the few instances where I wonder if doubling up where the controls for this option appear would be helpful. (I don’t think they should be moved per se, just doubled.) I realize this goes against the ethos, but it is perfectly natural to think that the controls for the appearance of a structural part of repeats would appear within that sub-section of engraving rules rather than (exclusively) the barlines section. Tantacrul’s comments about bending rules for the sake of user experience come to mind to me here. That said, I DO understand why the controls are currently located where they are and after I made a mental map of where to find them I haven’t had issues, but like the OP this stumped me at first.
