Thanks, Mac. What about 3/4 time? How are the cells divided up in 3/4?

It would be great if BB had a way of specifying meters for the entire song, so we wouldn't have to specify a range of bars from beginning to end. Most music doesn't change meter in mid-stream.

It would also be more intuitive if BB used the same number of cells in each bar as the number of beats. Have three cells for 3/4 time, 2 cells for 2/4, etc..

My main reason for wanting to use repeats is to keep an entire song on one page, when I print it out. Yes, I can copy and paste an 8-bar section, but I'm inputting these songs from a C fakebook to BB so that I can input the melody and then transpose it for a Bb instrument, printing it out and using the lead sheets in a non-BB live situation. The fakebook I'm transcribing some songs from has most songs on one page, using repeated sections, D.S. al Fine, etc.. To have two (or especially, three) pages for a song which should fit on one page is really inconvenient in use. So I'd like to have the BB-generated lead sheet formatted with repeats so that I can have one page per song.
