If I understand the O/P's original request correctly, it was how to use repeats, not how to unfold so as not to use repeats.

I'm a little interested in what is the cause of his problem, not how to find an alternative delivery method.

Tom?


Yes absolutely they are supposed to work and they likely do.

As a new user, I too tried to figure out how to make things work by the book using repeats and all the other musical road signs like DC al Coda.... etc... I found it to be very frustrating.

I personally like the path of least resistance when I'm being creative so once I discovered how to unfold, I found not one reason to worry with the road signs.

Yeah, he did ask about the repeats.... but perhaps he wasn't aware that a better way exists in the same way that I once didn't realize it either.

More power to you folks who know how to use the road signs in your songs. I have no problem with that whatsoever. I just want the fastest, easiest way to get that song down so I can get to the tracking.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
