Auto text for Rehearsal marks

• Sep 11, 2019 - 08:35

Hi,

Would it be possible to have an autotext feature for rehearsal marks?
I have encountered the following rehearsal mark text schemes:

  • plain text, engraver decides and maintains. This is what we currently have in musescore
  • Counting. Counting could be in Alfabetic: A, B, C; with Roman Numerals I, II, III, or with Numbers: 1, 2, 3. Possible, the number is followed by plain text (usually separated by colon, e.g: "I: intro", "IV: coda" etc.)
  • bar numbers

In all but the last scheme, things get very tedious when new rehearsal marks are inserted between 2 existing ones, and in the last one things get also complicated when bars are removed or inserted.

Would it be possible to have some sort of autotext feature for this, like we have in wordprocessors? So that would insert a special variable in the rehearsal mark text, like: ${barnumber} ${listnumber} which would be substituted by the variable value when printing (and possible playing) the score?
