Derek Lee Would having the option to turn any bar into a "%" bar in the dot menu work? Other related options could live there to (slash bars etc). Not sure how that would extend to 2-bar repeats though.

For multiple repeats, a "nice to have" extra would be for every 4 bars to have the count above it (4th bar, 8th bar etc). Useful for transcriptions/charts!

Derek LeeAn option to control the width of the bar could be very helpful. Up to now all bars in BN have the same width independently of its content. This is helpful for a clear structure of the beat (and my favorite view) but for an overview of a full song it could be helpful to shorten the width of the bar like the sample from Ross Farley.

Ross Farley Thanks for your feedback, Ross!

Re: showing repeat counts - This has some pretty major impacts on playback, and the importance of insuring the user understands where they are in the music during playback, or when starting from a repeat sign, etc. I'm going to manage that in a separate enhancement request as it adds considerable complexity: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/ability-to-configure-the-of-times-a-single-measure-repeat-repeats

Hinrich Nagel Thanks for your feedback! There are generally two ways of spacing for music engraving based on my research: natural compressed spacing and mathematical spacing.

Beat Note currently explicitly uses mathematical spacing for the display of all music notation. This is particularly useful when editing a measure and the music notation needs to be aligned to the grid to help the user understand what notes align with what portion of the grid.

That said, I agree that a more natural, compressed spacing would be appropriate for the locations in the app where only playback or reading are necessary (such as PDF export). I imagine the app should do this automatically and not be an option. That said, the logic required to program this is quite complicated, given the variety of layouts that the app needs to support (different devices, screens, orientations, etc).

Here's an enhancement request for your consideration: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/add-support-for-natural-compressed-spacing-when-engraving-music-in-non-edit-scre

xiaoliao I've created a new request for this enhancement here, to distinguish as different from the original request for a "%" style repeat indicator: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/add-the-ability-to-configure-repeating-different-sections

Susan Stevens Thanks for sharing this additional feedback Susan! 🙇🏻‍♂️

Susan Stevens I found another request that I think is more of what you are illustrating here: https://roadmap.beat-note.app/feature-requests/p/repeat-sign-in-the-end-of-a-bar

I'll add your vote to that request as well. Thanks! 🙏

Derek Lee susan’s suggestion makes more sense… giving app clarity what it has to repeat however a number should be added how many time that section need to repeat

Biren Kalaria Thanks for your feedback!

Derek LeeI attached 2 examples: the first one (Solo No 2) is an exercise from my teacher and the realization with Beat Note. As you can see the # of written-measures increase to 36.

The second one (Get up Stand up) contains several elements of repeating and I'll like to transfer this song to BN but up to now I don't know how to accomplish this without increasing the written-measures to an excessive degree.

L Thanks for your comment! Can you please share some examples of how you would use the "%" style repeat in your beats? Thank you! 🙏🏻
