D.S. with alternate volta ending on final repeat

• Jun 21, 2018 - 07:48

Does a smart person know how to skip volta 2 on the second time around after a DS ?

This is what I want:

Bar 1Bar 1
Bar 2 Bar 3
Bar 2 Bar 4
Then DS with all repeats, but must skip bar 4 for ending in bar 5 eg:
Bar 1 Bar 1
Bar 2 Bar 3
Bar 2 Bar 5

I have tried coda's with not much luck, my brain has gone to mush thinking of alternatives.
Please have a look and post back amended fix if possible.

Big thank you for the brainy person who solves it : )

(The actual score is much bigger, which is why I do not want to scribe it in long form - I try to use DS and codas when possible to fit scores on two pages. This example is just the essence of what I need)

Oh, I think I understand why you said that. Under normal D.S. conditions, none of the repeats are played on the second round. This also means that only the last volta is played - hence bar 3 is skipped.. normally.

However I have enable the new repeat feature of the D.S. inspector element, which goes against normal musical rules. But it appears to not work when used with a coda.

SOLVED!

I must say, you are very clever. It was the placement of the To Coda which made all the difference.

This is a very elegant solution, and is common pattern in folk music.

Your reward is some German Beer drinking music, using the solution you provided.

Thank you very much : )
