Re: Ending repeat sign for first section in AABB form not displayed

[Robert Schmaus]

Hi Ernie,

That's because in between two measures, there is only one bar line, break or no 
break. 
So, you override your first end-repeat bar before the break with a start-repeat 
after the break right away. 

You should use just one bar sign, in your case the double bar ":|.|:"

Or use repeats and no bar oberrides, this works in any case ...

Best, Robert
