Composer does not understand repeats (nor do many musicians ) unless they come in pairs, so in this case you would either need to (1) make the first barline a beginning repeat bar line OR (2) edit the Repetition instructions in Perform -> Edit repetition instructions. If you use method (2), Composer will give you a warning about the unpaired repeat, but you can still do it that way if you really want to.

Well, it's like this. I tried over and over to get an initial repeat bar but it just wouldn't appear. I was clicking where I "wanted" the bar to be, to the right of the clef. Figured Composer just would default to the beginning, I guess, since it wouldn't draw it.This time I clicked to the left of the clef, at the beginning of the staff (of course) and, voila, the repeat appeared to the right of the clef!

Thanks again. I'll post the whole piece when I'm done. I'm preparing it for a TEDx performance in April by a local community college.
