Hi guys,
I’m trying to make a basspart of “Come together”, but I’m having problems making a shortened version so it doesn’t take up 11 pages.
Flow 1 is the original and Flow 2 my attempt to shorten it. But I’m stuck here 
Anyone like to have a go at shortening it as much as possible? (segno’s, codas, repeats etc..)
Thank’s in advance 
Come together.dorico (1.8 MB)
Thank’s, Tom, but this for a 14 year old beginner, and he hasn’t advanced to 16’ths yet

Great, Daniel - that definitely helps
Anyway to shorten it further ? - e.g. get verse 4 to start at the same place as the other verses ? - He need tabs also, so it’s still a bit long.
You will save some space by not showing the staff labels.
Have you considered not notating it fully? Not everything needs to be written down in detail. In this case, it seems to me it’s just overcomplicating things. (And I’m someone who loves reading sheet music - I start teaching it to my students right away on their first trumpet lesson because I find it a very useful skill to know.)
You could simply notate each different riff (or maybe section) as its own separate flow. And then write the form down in text (or learn it by ear).
You could easily do that except you had (slightly) different material in that verse.
Yes! It looks like this is a part. Use the staff label token in the upper left of the page to identify the part and get rid of the staff labels with each system. (Once the page is handed out, the players don’t need to be reminded what they are playing!)
It is likely you won’t get it all on one page (though I may be wrong), so strive for clarity.
