I have seen a couple of pieces of music, typeset with NoteWorthy that uses nested repeats. The outer repeats (which covered the entire work) were drawn light, while the inner repeats were drawn bold. The entire work had a (A2B2)2 structure (or similar, I'd have to double-check), so the first two repeat starts were adjacent, and *obviously* different. > > Laurie > > To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: >http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html > -- Buddha Buck [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I will not die an ironic death" -- Scott Ian, lead singer for the metal band Anthrax, after bioterrorist attacks using anthrax.
