Hello, could someone explain to me how I can do it using the option (create repetition of measures) to create a repetition of a percussion pattern but of 2 or more measures because I know how to do it to repeat a measure but not for a longer pattern? Is this possible?
Are you talking about using the two-measure repeat symbol or are you talking about selecting the desired measures and then pressing R as many times as necessary to repeat the written notes?
Sounds like the OP wants the 2-bar repeat. Just type %2 in the popover. You must select 2 or more bars first, otherwise you get the 1-bar repeat!
Hello, I think I’m not explaining myself well. What I want is to repeat a two-bar percussion pattern without having to repeat the entire musical writing simply by using what I do for a bar (create a bar repetition area).
Yes please, what are the steps?
Write your 2-bar pattern. Select all the bars you want it to repeat. Write>create bar repeat region. Set the number of bars property (in the bottom panel) to 2 bars.
And the fast way:
- Select the empty bars after your pattern, for as long as you want it to repeat
- Type Shift-R for the Repeats popover and enter %2
Thank you very much as always in this fast, efficient and very kind forum.
