Which version is correct
Which of the 2 attached versions of Sunday is preferable? Sunday2 makes it clear that PartA is repeated 3x (A1,A2,A3) whereas Sunday3 is more conventional but it is less clear that after the bridge you are repeating A again.

You have used a segno in version 3, but there is no instruction to jump to it. Get rid of that and it should be fine.

Thanks for your suggestion. Actually, the segno is not a problem -- both versions run fine, even with that inappropriate segno. (I tried to remove it but it just won't go away, so I left it.)
My question is Which of the two versions is most musically acceptable? One makes it clear that there are three As by having 3 voltas, one for each ending, the other does the more conventional thing by having only 2 voltas for A1 and A2 and then spelling out A3 in full after the bridge as if it had nothing to do with A. The first one requires going back to the beginning after the bridge which can be a little challenging if one is not expecting it -- but surely one should as AABA is so common. The second version does not require going back to the top but it is misleading since it treats A3 as if it were a C.
Any professional opinions out there?
