The part start marker enables to specify the following bars are played only at given times. Time numbers for which this part has to be played are displayed under the half bracket, separated by dots.
Part ends at the next part end marker, or when a new part start marker is encountered.
You can select, in the editing window (double-click on part start marker with "lasso" tool) :

• Bar number this symbol is inserted in

Text to be displayed on score above the barline
If you write $[ in this text, this keyword will be replaced on score by the  symbol.
If you write $# in this text, this keyword will be replaced on score by list of time numbers for this part
• The time number array for playing this part (check box list)

part end marker 

• Bar number this symbol is inserted in

Text to be displayed on score above the barline
If you write $] in this text, this keyword will be replaced on score by the  symbol.

Part markers are usually combined with repeat barlines.
If you need, for example, a set of bars to be repeated three times, with three different endings, you must write :
 

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
		1.		2.		3.

• First and second part ends have been omitted. They could have been written (at end of bar 4 and 6) but are optional because another part starts just after this.
• In order to make the music loop once again after part 2, a new repeat end symbol  had to be inserted at the end of part 2. Repeat start  at the beginning of bar 1 therefore matches two repeat ends.
• The whole part 3 (start and end, at bar 7 and 8) is optional : once the part 2 has been performed, we restart at bar 1 for the 3rd time. Therefore, neither part 1 nor part 2 will be played. Performance then continues after the end of part 2, at bar 7

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
		1.		2.
