Is it possible to make repeat endings look like this?

Hi,

I am trying to reproduce the exact appearance of repeat endings shown in the attached example. I’m looking for the 1st ending and 2nd ending to be positioned in such a way that they conceal the ending bracket.

Thanks in advance.

Can’t you use a solid line with inward-pointing hooks and set the text as below?
Will not work for playback though.

@jesele I was also thinking about that. :roll_eyes:

I know the devs are slowly porting many Font Styles over to Paragraph Styles. If you could set the Background Color for the Repeat Endings Font once it gets ported over, this would be easy simply by adjusting Engraving Options.

The feature request may actually be just to have that go ahead and move from Font Styles to Paragraph Styles.

If you set the Repeat Endings Font to 1pt so it basically disappears, you can add this with text too.
