Thanks, David. My goal is keeping the score with as few measures as possible without making it look crammed - in this case, keeping it to three pages (or under), while still having the entire song. I print the score for my wife and I to play from, rather than individual parts - more than three pages is hard to manage (no place to turn pages and keep continuity
).
So, whether or not this approach fits traditional notation, I think it has a logical flow, and to us it conveys the intent, and of course, the qri command controls the real flow.
The song book I started with had it written out in longhand without the repeats, as you mentioned, but that was six pages long with the lead line and a two-handed piano part.
Thanks for taking the time and effort - much appreciated.
Ralph
