Rehearsal marks

Rehearsal marks (letters or numbers) are added as expressions using the Rehearsal Marks category of the Expression Selection dialog box. Using SongWriter's Auto-Sequencing feature, all rehearsal marks can be added with the same expression, and each will appear consecutively in the score (A, B, C...1, 2, 3...etc.). Rehearsal marks added this way also update to accommodate deleted, added, or reordered rehearsal letters automatically. Rehearsal marks are defined to display on the top staff of the score.
