Repeat bugs
I found a few bugs involving the repeats.
- When you select a bar line and double click on the backwards repeat, it inserts the backwards repeat a bar earlier.
- Also, when a full measure is selected and you double click on any repeat bar line, repeats are inserted after every individual note in the measure instead of after the measure itself. Everything works fine if you drag the repeat onto the measure.

I'm not sure about the 2nd part as I haven't played with it, but the first part is correct behavior. The backwards repeat sign is the "repeat from" sign and should be inserted before the selected measure so that the selected measure will be the first measure of the repeated section. Otherwise, if the sign were inserted after the selected measure, it would be impossible to place the sign at the first measure of a score, and would be less intuitive.

Thank you for your response. The bug I'm looking at is slightly different than you describe. When you select the *measure*, the repeat sign should go on the left side. The problem I was talking about is when you select a bar line. I am assuming this bug comes from the fact that selecting a bar line automatically assumes the previous measure for all operations. This assumption is correct in most cases, but it doesn't make sense for one to select an individual bar line, and then click on the backwards repeat to see it applied to the bar line before.

I see your point. Thanks for clarifying.
Thanks for your bug reports. I think the first one has been reported before but I couldn't find it in the issue tracker.
I added both reports to the issue tracker:
