Multi measure repeats

There needs to be a multi-measure repeat. This would allow for entire phrases to be repeated instead of writing out the whole phrase again and again.

    Noteflight

    Hi All,

    Multi Measure Repeats are now officially supported in Noteflight! 

    You can now access Two and Four measure repeats from the "Repeat" palette in your scores.

    We'd like to thank everyone for your feedback and patience!

    I completely agree that "two measures repeat" under the guise of a percent sign with a double slash is very much missing.

    I've been waiting years for Noteflight to implement this.  As a percussionist / drumset teacher, it's the only thing missing from an otherwise killer tool.

    C'mon!  This basic and standard jazz notation.

    I can't properly teach jazz without this!

    Yes, PLEASE add a two-measure repeat! (The number 2 over a double-slash measure repeat sign.) This is very much missing!

    (Actually, please also add a 4-measure repeat, too!)

    Agreed, looking to transpose some Chicago music and I'm unable to do so accurately without 2 measure repeat signs.

    Hopefully this multi-measure repeat function would come soon to Noteflight. It would greatly shorter the notations.

    it would be cool to allow the interpretation text to indicate how many times, the repetition bar should loop

    We need this capability BADLY. Why is this so hard to implement? If you can specify a repeat section to play N number of times, you should be able to do this. By the way, if you specify something N>2 times, it only plays 2 times!! Please, PLEASE, PLEASE fix this!!

    I'm just a beginner still learning music theory and ALREADY this is annoying. Also, as far as I can tell, there's no way to add repeats halfway through a measure (eg with a pickup leading into the repeat, you obviously don't want to include the pickup at the end of the song!).

    I'm desperate for this as someone who uses Noteflight for drum charts. So I have came up with a solution.

    Let's say your goal is to have 16 measure of 2-bar repeats, or in other words, 8 2-bar repeats taking up 16 measures.

    Highlight the amount of measures you want the repeats to last (16 measures) You click the shiny new "muli-measure repeat" button. Then you choose/type in the number of measures the repeat will be (2). Boom.
