Thank you for your reply, but I believe I can do what I want to do with voltas. I said I was a novice, so it is clear I don't know what all the terminology is, so it's difficult for me to find it in the program. The only problem with voltas is that Crescendo does not recognize them in playback mode, but that's not a real problem. Playback also does not recognize the segno repeat marker at the beginning of a staff. I'm not sure whether these playback issues are properly exported to a .midi file, but that is not my goal either. My basic goal is to create a new arrangement of a song from several different arrangements of the song that I want to learn to play that is more aligned with my beginning skill level of playing the piano. Crescendo has been perfect for that task, and has also been a great tool for learning more about the terminology and how each notation on a piece of sheet music affects the sound of the arrangement. An amazingly simple tool that has helped me immensely.
