export as .mid or .mp3
Hi, for give me if this has been asked before but I can't see it anywhere.
I do a lot of folk tunes, and when you play them, you play them 3 times round.
So... when I 'Export' as a .mid or a .mp3.... I what it to record the tune 3 times.
Is this possible. to get around this, I have been entering the tune on the page 3 times... but this is a pain, even for short folk tunes.
Cheers

Just add a repeat sign at the end and then set the "Play count" to 3 in "Measure Properties" for that bar.

Thanks for the reply. but...
Most folk tunes have 18 bars, they repeat the first 9 and then repeat the second 9.
If I set the "Play count" to 3 on the last bar, it just plays the last 9 bars 3 time, and not the hole tune.

So you want the 1st 3 measure being played three time too? Set the play count of measure 9 to 3 too.
Or do you want measures 1-9 play twice, then measures 10-18 play twice, that the whole thing again? Then leave the play counts at 2 and add a D.C. and set it's property 'with repeats'. still won't repeat the whole thing 3 times though, just 2 times.

Yeah, needs to repeat the first 9 twice, than the second 9 twice. them the hole tune 3 times.
Would me nice it musescore had a 'Preference ' for this in the 'Export' tab...

Why? How?
MuseScore , and music in general, doesn't allow for nested repeats, which is what you seem to need here.
If you can't notate it to play correctly in MuseScore, the MP3 export won't work either (and how should it?)
Maybe you could add a 19th measure, make it as short as possible (irregular measure with 1/64) and have a 2nd D.C with repeats there.

Yes that works. I have been reeding up on D.C and D.S and repeats and loops. and it's all a bit 'messy'.
And if I am doing that, I might as well just add another 36 bars and do the 'highlight' and press 'r' twice and just have the music written out on the page 3 times.
Somewhere else, I have seen them export as midi, then open in a midi editor, paste it 3 times and then export to mp3. but it's all just 'more work'...
I am thinking there is not a simple way to do it.
Think I might just send in a feachers requets to musecore.. to add a loop feacher to the export side.
if they have a 'feachers requets' somewhere?

Sure, there is a feature request forum. After discussion there, if a consensus is reached, then you can file it more formally to the "issue tracker" (which is accessed via the Activity menu above).

Thanks. I will wait and see if anyone else has another solution, and then I'll look at that. but for the time being, I might just keep doing it my old way.
