4 Bar Multi Repeat Problem

[skipsax]

Hope someone can help. Searching for an answer provided nothing.

Using Sibelius 6.2 on Mac OS 10.5.8 my multi measure repeats display fine for 1 and 2 measure repeats. The 4 measure repeat deletes my previous measure, leaving a blank measure before and after the 4 bar multi repeat.

If I attempt to paste the now missing measure prior to the 4 measure repeat, it makes the 4 measure repeat disappear. Same thing happens if I try to manually enter that missing bar prior to the 4 measure repeat.

Seems like a glitch. Any help? 6.2 is the newest version and I'm happy with OS 10.5.8

Hi there

What you're describing is the way this four-bar repeat works and looks. The 'blank' bars (the sign is to be seen as encompassing all four bars) are played back correctly.

I'm not sure what you're expecting to happen that isn't, so if you could post a score with what you are getting, and a detailed description of what you want, it might be helpful.

Hope that helps

Thanks Jeremy. Makes perfect sense. Now I see how it is handling it. I feel a bit stupid!
