Cuting and pasting bars in a template - entering new song in editor

[Reealin]

Hello

I'm inputting a song that is actually BABAB and I would like to be able to use the 32 bar AABA template.

So my question is: using this template, can I copy the B section and paste it at the beginning on top of the first A section. So far I have been unable to get the cursor in front of the first A section.

I would also like to put a 4 bar intro before the first B section.

Or do I need to just start with a blank sheet and build it from scratch?

Thanks

Making a new chart

Unless it’s a lengthy chart, I find it easiest to start with the built-in 48 bar template. (4, 4space bars across each system, top to bottom)

First, I fill out the info (i) screen -- title, composer, suggested chart-style and key

Then I add a left-double-bar, time-sig, and rehearsal-mark (IN, V, or letter) in the first space. Press "save". I like to press "save" frequently as I go because I am often switching between a reference chart and the one I'm editing. If the app should inconveniently decide to re-start, by "saving" as I go, I can pick-up where I left off instead of starting over.

Next I fill in the chords, adding endings, repeats, S/N, symbols, text, changing bar lines as neccessary and finally deleting unused bar lines and adjusting space to position 2nd endings directly below 1st endings as I go.

If sequences are repeated later in the chart, I'll highlight, copy, paste to save time and then make corrections to the pasted section as required. Lastly, highlight/cut any remaining unused bars at the bottom of the chart

Save the chart: save/done

The final step is set the preferred player style, tempo and then play the chart to be sure it works/sounds like I want/expect.

Using the blank 48 bar template, you can easily put anything anywhere. It goes pretty quickly after you've made a few charts.
