You are here: How do I... > P > Parts > Repositioning text repeats

Text repeats are similar to expressions in that a single text repeat can be assigned to multiple staves (see Repeats (barlines and text indications)), which has some implications for linked parts.

When you first add a text repeat (Fine, To Coda, D.S. al Coda, etc), positioning changes to that item in the score apply to all parts. If a text repeat or bracket is repositioned in a part, the change does not affect other instances in the score or other parts, and future positioning changes to that text repeat in the score do not apply to that part. However, if a text repeat is repositioned in a part containing multiple instances of that text repeat, all instances in the part are broken (and all instances of that text repeat in the part continue to move uniformly).

Broken text repeats in parts can be relinked to the score at any time (see Relinking part items to the score).

The “Allow individual edits per staff” setting in the Text Repeat Assignment dialog box, Backward Repeat Bar Assignment dialog box, and Create Ending dialog box allows you to reposition, hide, or show an instance of a repeat marking without applying the same changes to other instances of that repeat marking on other instrument staves.
