Rehearsal Marker that repeats from 1 - 5

Hi all,

I need a rehearsal marker that repeats from 1 to 5.

So:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, …

I am using a timecode based score. So the conductor gives a sign every 5 seconds and for every every sign he gives, he raises one more finger in the left hand. After having all 5 fingers up (so after 25 seconds) he starts over again with 1 finger up.

This is especially important, as some players are having aleatoric lines for a long time. It helps them not lose where they actually are in the piece and how long this line still continues.

Is there a way to create a rehearsal mark that repeats again?

Thanks in advance!

There might be a more efficient way of doing this, but you can input the rehearsal marks where you want them, select every sixth rehearsal mark and set the Index back to 1 in the properties panel:

The subsequent rehearsal marks will follow (i.e. continue at 2, 3, 4, 5). You can select multiple rehearsal marks and reset their index simultaneously this way.
