New bars should be automatically added at the end if " repeat note" action is applied.

• Sep 18, 2024 - 21:33

I'm aware that some people use r to repeat a certain bar, usually a drumming pattern, and fill the score till the end. That is the reason, i am told in a discussion with MarcSabatella link here , that the actions r and t do not allow for automatically adding a new measure at the end. This, however comes at a cost of hindering the writing flow when reaching the end measure and need to continue, say with a tied note.

Having to manually add a measure (even using ctrl+b) does not allow to seemlessly continue with the writing process when you reach the last measure since, by the way it is implemented, is still does not allow for using r or t without some extra manipulation back to the last inserted note. ALl this, i feel, hinders the flow of thewriting/composing process.

What if there is a "fill to end" action that covers the forementioned use case, therfore liberating the need to restrict r and t actions from adding a new measure? (sort of the best of both world solution i think)

As suggested by Sabatella, I'm throwing hte idea here and we would like to hear your opinions about the matter:

Do you prefer to have a more efficient "fill to end" action and so allowing r and t add a new measure ? or would you prefer to keep the current limitation on r and t that prohibits adding new measure?
