Only play notes on secondpass

How do you silence notes in a bar on the first pass and then allow the note to play on the second pass.

I guess I was thinking about the option to play repeats in D.C. or D.S. sections. It would make sense for it to also be possible to play repeat sections on a part only on specific iterations as well. It seems they would be related.

Technically speaking not quite; taking a repeat after a jump boils done to basically resetting the playback counter.

For given notes to be played back only on a certain repeat count; it would mean having to add some kind of repeat list property (similar to what a volta has) to each note separately. A different beast in terms of effort altogether.

If you want to print the document, first get a copy ("Save a Copy" or "Save as," with an useful name e.g.: "mymusic-print.mscz").
Then (if playback is important), copy and paste the relevant section.
Delete Pianos from the first part. (Or second, how do you like)

You can use one of the documents to print and the other to play.


I saw it in the old show groups (revue): To avoid going back to the previous pages, and not confusing the repetitions, the entire score was written in a non-repetitive manner (flat) and the (handwritten) pages were taped together, then folded with accordion style. (Score was written only on the one side of the paper.)
Usually 45 minutes of uninterrupted music was needed. (x2 session)

You have a tool like a computer. :)

If you need it (in the score you use for the print) you can write a note to the musician: "Play in the second repeat". But neither classical orchestral works nor normal notation have been defined in this way.
Yes, on some pop and jazz scores are used as shortcuts to save space and paper.
But those scores do not play by themselves. People look at it, understand traffic (roadmap) and then play it.
