Although comments are something you can place in a score I suspect you
meant to write "First and second time bars" here not "comments".
There are keyboard short cuts to insert these

r,1 to start a first time bar
r,e to end it
r,2 to start a second time bar

as in the attached file. There is also a command that inserts all of
this (with a rest in the first and second time bars) in one go.

It is fun to try and push the boundaries of what can be transcribed for
recorder!
I can make a couple of observations:
You have written "cres." for what is normally notated as cresc.
Your slurs seem strange - overlapping starts and ends, and very long
for a baroque style of playing I would have thought.

Best,

Richard
