I enjoy noteflight very much! I just think that the repeat barlines are the ugliest. What with the extra "wings"? Sometimes I can´t stand them and I fill in the dots by hand after I´ve printed, just to make them look normal. I would very much like it if you changed them or offered an alternative, something simple like this  :|| Thanks for the opportunity to leave feedback!

  I would really like to be able to use repeat barlines without the wings.  
  They are distracting.  They are not standard.  They don't even match the symbol you click on to put them in.  
  I'm going to try to submit this as a request:  provide a choice of a standard repeat barline (sans wings), and make this the default.  Idk if Noteflight will do anything about it. 
  
  Meantime, I would love to know if anyone has an easy/quick way to get the standard repeat barlines into their score.  At present, I am using paint.net to erase the wings, but it is a hassle.

  (Also, if you need to write two on the same barline, one in each direction, it looks like devil´s horns).

  Agreed! A toggle option to turn wings on or off would be ideal.

  I totally agree! I use Noteflight to write exercises which my students copy. But the wings are not standard, which I have to tell them. It's very frustrating to see these. Who even came up with them? Please fix this!

  Navigate to the formatting menu and uncheck the "Show repeat wings" option.

  I found this by googling - it's on a Noteflight Youtube tutorial.

  Here's a more detailed breakdown: 

   

  1. Open your score: Make sure you have the Noteflight score open where you want to remove the repeat wings.
  2. Go to the formatting menu: Locate the "Formatting" menu in the Noteflight interface.
  3. Find the "Show repeat wings" option: Look for the "Show repeat wings" setting within the formatting options.
  4. Uncheck the box: By default, this box is checked, meaning repeat wings are displayed. Uncheck the box to remove them.
  5. View the change: The repeat signs in your score should now appear without the wings.
