Repeats cannot be nested. However, the tune will not stop playing whatev-
er you enter in the way of repeats, first and second time bars. Here are
some examples of what will happen:
The first time bar symbol (key
7
) marks the start of a first time bar. In fact,
there can be any number of bars before the end of repeat symbol. If you
forget to put in the repeat symbol after the first time bar symbol it will just be
ignored. The second time bar symbol (key
8
) is normally used to mark the
end of a first time bar. The double bar symbol (key
9
) and behaves just like
a normal barline. The final symbol (key
£
) marks the start of a loop section.
These are described fully in ‘Loop Sections’. However, if a voice is played
as a whole voice (with
Section
off) then these markers behave as normal
barlines.
When playing and scrolling through a single voice with
SHIFT-RUN/ STOP
the repeat markers and 1st and 2nd time bars are ignored. The notes on
the stave play purely in the sequence they appear. When playing voices
with
RUN/STOP
all repeat symbols are obeyed. The EDITOR keeps a note
on whether you are first or second time through a particular repeat section.
You can often see this from the position of the barmeter cursor which
counts the voice in expanded mode. When playing all voices from within a
repeat section that section will not be repeated again if you are second time
through. If you have scrolled into the repeat section in that voice it is
