Allow the Target of a Repeat to be Any Beat Within a Measure
IWBNI it were possible to specify that the target of a given backward repeat, ending repeat or text repeat should be a given distance from the beginning of a given measure. As it is now, the target of all repeats must be at the beginning of a measure.
This could be implemented by adding the following controls to the Backward Repeat Bar Assignment and Ending Repeat Bar Assignment dialog boxes in place of the existing Target Measure text box:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Backward Repeat Bar Assignment and
Ending Repeat Bar Assignment Dialog Boxes
Target:
Measure: _____
Distance from Beginning of Measure: _____ {List box |Beats, EDUs|}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, the following controls could be added to the Repeat Assignment dialog box in place of the existing Target text box, Measure radio button and Repeat radio button that are associated with the Jumper radio button:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat Assignment Dialog Box
( ) Measure: _____
Distance from Beginning of Measure: _____ {List
box |Beats, EDUs|}
