Jump to coda sign position at line break

• Jun 13, 2019 - 08:44

I often use two coda signs, the first for marking the position from where to jump in the coda (sign 1) and the second to mark the beginning of the code (sign 2). In Musescore a coda sign is always attached to the begin of a measure, although it should be attachable to the end of a measure for sign 1. If as in the attached example file the jump to the coda should be after measure 18, the coda sign has to be attached to the beginning of measure 19. This is ok as long as there is no line break after measure 18, as in in the example: Now the coda sign is displayed at the beginning of the second line instead of at the end in the first line. Is there any work around except dragging the coda sign manually to the end of the first line, which often ends up in a huge space between the lines in combination with a still badly placed or even disappeared coda sign?

You really need a "To Coda" instead. If you want a "To Coda" to look like a Coda:
Add the Coda to the measure before, then via Inspectore turn it into a "To Coda", change the tag to "coda" and make it right-aligned and font size 20.
Furtermore you need a jump instruction, D.C. al Code or D.S. al Coda, somewhere in your score...
