Indicating only to sing this bit last time through.

• Mar 27, 2019 - 21:56

I'm trying to be efficient in scoring a rather repetitive (but lovely) traditional piece of music.
Section A is the verse which is one line sang twice, there are 4 verses. Section B starts in the last crotchet beat of verse 4 in section A.
I don't want to add a whole repeat bar as that will take me over 1 line in the score pushing it to 2 pages - I just want to indicate that the start of section B only starts after the last verse.
I am visualising just putting brackets round the two quavers and some type of text underneath - but can't see how to do this.
What would you do?
BTW - I'm pretty new to notating and probably breaking rules but I'm not so bothered about that - I just want it clear to the readers (including me!) and fit it all on one page.

Thanks in advance :-)

You can split the measure (Edit->Measures->Split measures before selected note) and then insert a repeat barline there. This is not an unheard of method of notating a song like this.

If you care about the measure numbering right click the second half of the measure, choose Measure properties and check Exclude from measure count.
