How to find notation for railroad tracks //?

Hi Rufus, never heard of railroad tracks. Could it be
write->Bar repeat region or write->Slash region?

I think he means a caesura, which we sometimes call railroad tracks in the U.S.

Select the note or barline before which you want the caesura to appear, type Shift+H for the holds popover, then // and Enter.

You can also find more of these caesuras by clicking the fermata on the right side of the screen to open its panel.
