Multiple repeats
Wondering how to add a system label near a repeat sign to say e.g. "Repeat 6x" and duplicate that instruction on each stave?
Thanks

You can edit the volta text (if there is one) by right clicking it and selecting volta properties. If you have 6 verses of lyrics this is not necessary. The singers will know to repeat the proper number of times. Otherwise, as shoichi said, you will need to add staff text to each staff. (staff = stave in the US)

Hmmm.... semantics 😂
staff = stave in the US...?
or
staff in the US = stave in the UK...?

@jm6stringer I don't usually see you on the foreign language forums so you are probably not aware that staff almost never translates correctly to other languages while stave usually does. I didn't check where jazznikki is from so I included the info to help if she needs to translate.

You are correct.
I wasn't aware of a problematic translation of 'staff' vs. 'stave' into other languages. Do you refer to using something like Google translate?
If so, I'll take your word for it because over the years I've seen a few humdinger translations myself. Real doozies - if you know what I mean - as sometimes machine translations are unintentionally humorous.
(Heck, even without translation, the regular use of a spell checker can produce the occasional guffaw.)
Anyway...
Here, I was trying to point out that even in the same country (same language), there can be ambiguity in the interpretation..
You wrote:
staff = stave in the US
but perhaps it should have been been:
stave = staff in the US
because:
staff in the US = stave in the UK
The last one is unequivocal.
Regards.

Indeed. Two countries separated by a common language ;-)

For two countries separated by a common language ambiguity, there's always this:
The musician started to play at the first bar he saw....

And had a measure or three after the gig

That's funny. This actually came up a few weeks ago. A Brit didn't know what a measure was so he couldn't find the bar properties (or something about a bar) in the manual.

This got out of hand quickly (or should I say: "real quick"?) ;-)

Well absolutely. I thought this was a musical forum rather than about the relative merits of different versions of the English language. Silly me. I'll know better next time and won't bother...

Did you find your answer?
Are you creating parts and you want the text propagated to each part?
When you wish to apply text indications to a whole system rather than just to one staff line, use System text.

That looks right on message. Thanks.
