Final
A nal barline consists of two lines: one of normal width, the other thick. It marks
where the music ends.
Start repeat
A start repeat line consists of a thick barline, followed by a normal barline, followed by
one of the following arrangements of dots:
Two dots, one each in the middle two spaces of a ve-line staff
Four dots, one each in all four spaces of a ve-line staff
It shows the start of a repeated section. It is used alongside end repeat lines, which
show the end of a repeated section.
End repeat
An end repeat line is the mirror of a start repeat line, so it consists of either two or
four dots, followed by a normal barline, followed by a thick barline. It shows the end
of a repeated section. It is used alongside start repeat lines, which show the start of a
repeated section.
End/Start repeat
This line combines the start repeat and end repeat barlines, with either two single
barlines with a single shared thick barline in the middle, or two thick barlines and no
single barlines. On either side, there are either two or four repeat dots. It is used when
a repeated section is immediately followed by another, separate repeated section.
