"NCH Crescendo lacks a built-in option for endless looping of specific selected measures during practice sessions. Playback starts from the selected note or measure when you hit Play (F3), but it plays the full score sequentially without repeat controls for custom ranges.
Workaround Options
Use repeat barlines to create a looping section in your score temporarily:
- Right-click a barline, select Repeat, and choose symbols like forward repeat at the start and backward repeat at the end of your practice measures.
- For multi-system repeats, apply dual repeats as users have reported success with this.
- Play the score (F3); it will loop the repeat section until you stop (F4).
Limitations and Tips
This method embeds repeats into the notation, so remove them after practice to avoid altering the original score. For true selection-based looping without editing, consider exporting the measures as MIDI and using a DAW or player like VLC with loop settings, as Crescendo's playback tools are basic.
