[using Finale 2010, finally!!]

I'm notating a piece in binary form, 3/4 meter, starting with a quarter-note pickup. At the end of the A section, there is a repeat sign, and likewise, the B section is repeated. But because of the pickup note, the repeat at the end of the A section comes between beats 2 and 3. (And then that beat 3 is the pickup to the B section). Likewise in the B-section. And additionally, the last measure of the B section only has two beats in it, to compensate for the initial pickup note.

I *can* notate this by entering meter changes, but hiding the new meter signature. That looks fine, but I'm assuming that's a work-around. Is there a "real" way to put in mid-measure repeat signs?

Thanks for your help!

Never mind...I think I just found what I need in the Plug-in menu.

Thanks anyway!
