When I first started, the repeats were totally confusing to me. Now, here I am a good seven or so years into using BB and I'm still totally confused by them.

However..... way back at the beginning, I discovered that I could UNFOLD the song from the default mandatory repeats into one longer, but totally linear and understandable song project.

So I use the UNFOLD function on every song. Now, if I need a repeat, I copy and paste the verse and I got the repeat BUT.... it stays in a linear form.... keeps moving forward one measure at a time. I change the blue markers to green and back if needed, add what I need, work on endings and intros as needed.... life is good and things are simple in the UNFOLDED world.

Of course, feel free to ignore this and learn how to work the repeats and coda's and all that other stuff if you wish.....I'll be over here UNFOLDING.
