Stop playback at any point
Hi!
I am writing a series of mini pieces inside a single file. I would like playback to end at the end of each mini-piece, including the repeat. I tried including a FINE at the point in which I would like the first piece to end, to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks!
Best,
Uri

Have you tried using Section Breaks?

Hi!
Thanks for your suggestion. It kind of does the trick, although I would like music to stop, not just pause for a number of seconds. Also, it stops at the end of the first repeat. I would like a way to stop after the second repeat. Good suggestion, though, thanks.
Best,
Uri

@urisala, an alternative (but what's the point?)

Haha, ok, I see what you did. I would need playback to stop at the end of every individual mini-piece. The plan is to have several mini-pieces per file. But thanks anyway!

Stopping automatically is not possible, just pausing (via a section break, as eplained by @Shoichi)

Ok, I see. Any workaround for it to pause at the end of the 2nd repeat?

A 'Fine' signals the 'end', so after the first piece ends how is the music to continue?
I have used a 'Fine' after each mini-piece, but they must be deleted in succession to continue to the next mini-piece: It's a destructive process, after which 'Undo', or Ctrl+Z, must be used to restore everything to play again properly, with each 'Fine' restored in place.

Using a pause (via a section break) eliminates the "complete stop" of 'Fine' and also allows for an adjustable delay.
See:

Basically, I added a measure (with no notes) to the end of a mini-piece, placed it on a its own line (system), then added a section break to it. This allows the repeat to work without the section break messing it up with the pause.
That added measure/system was made invisible and moved up to overlap the previous line (system) of music using a staff spacer and a negative offset in the Inspector.
(That's the reason the line (system) break overlaps with the section break.)
