How to insert a end/start repeat in Dorico 6

Please I would like to know how we get a end/start repeat with Dorico 6.

I’ve been trying but didn’t find out the way to do it.

Does anyone can explain me how to do it?

Thanks for your time and explanations it is greatly appreciated

Select the barline where you want the start repeat. Open the bars popover with Shift+B, type either start or |: and hit Enter.

Select the barline where you want the end repeat. Open the bars popover with Shift+B, type either end or :| and hit Enter.

Edit: Oh, I think you actually meant a combined end-start. @Christian_R has you covered!

Hi @Germain_Tremblay, adding to the suggestions by @asherber, if you need an End/Start repeat on a specific barline, select it > Shift+B > endstart > Enter.
(Or just use the panel on the right, but the popovers are faster when you need to insert many things :slight_smile: )
