I'm writing a song that has Verse - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Verse - Chorus. I've tried to set up the symbols like this:
(Loop start) Verse [part begin (for 2 and 4 only) - Chorus - part end] (Loop end)
The problem is I can't put a part end and a loop end on the same bar. I've had to put an extra measure between part end and loop end to make it work. Would anyone have a idea on how to make this work without the extra measure?
Thanks!

Salut,
J'écris une chanson qui a Verse - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Verse - Chorus. J'ai essayé de mettre en place les symboles comme ceci:
(Début de boucle) Verset [partie commence (pour 2 et 4 seulement) - Refrain - partie fin] (Fin de boucle)
Le problème est que je ne peux pas mettre une fin de partie et une fin de boucle sur la même mesure. J'ai dû mettre une mesure supplémentaire entre la fin de la partie et la fin de la boucle pour que cela fonctionne. Quelqu'un aurait-il une idée sur la façon de faire ce travail sans la mesure supplémentaire?
I find it helpful to keep an eye on the list of measures played when editing breaks (Ctrl-Sh-B). It's really the only way to be sure that each added break is having the intended effect.
If your song is laid out as two verses, chorus, two verses, and chorus, then it should be simple to add a repeat after each set of verses and a begining repeat before the second set, and get what you want.
If you wish to save paper by printing all four verses together, followed by the chorus, then Lagaffe's solution is far, far simpler than trying to do it with HA break symbols. (Just add what you want for graphic effect, then check Impose list.)
