inserting a repeat mark mid-bar
I am notating a melody that has a pick-up bar (3 quavers in time signature of 3/4).
Phrase A needs to repeat, but of course phrase A finishes part way through bar 8, because it starts with the 3 quaver pick up notes and therefore repeats back to those notes for the second play through of the phrase.
Can I place a repeat mark at the appropriate point in bar 8? See attached file...
Or can repeat bar lines only be placed at the end or beginning of complete bars?

You can read about how to create an incomplete measure (with only 3 quavers in time signature of 3/4). In the handbook see Measure operations , "Duration".
In reply to You can read about how to by David Bolton
that's great, thanks for the info
using nominal duration for some bars I can now insert repeat bar lines exactly where I need to
