Re: How to do jazz-style bar repeats

[Colin Hall]

Your suspicions were well-founded, Tim. I have only just seen the image you 
attached to your original post and it is clear what you want. Please accept my 
apologies. That style reminds me of Dave Tanner's work and London 
Orchestrations charts in general.

For the record I've attached a complete source file to demonstrate how I do 
chop marks.

Cheers,
Colin.
