"D.S. al Coda" not jumping to segno.

• Aug 31, 2019 - 21:58

I'm transcribing a xylophone piece by Joseph Fiddes.

The "D.S. al Coda" in measure 59 is being ignored; the piece will just play through.

However, when I change measure 59 to "D.S.", it will jump to the segno in measure 2 correctly, but not follow the "To Coda" jump in measure 17.

When I change measure 59 to "D.C. al Coda", Musescore will do the "D.C" and jump to the coda, as expected after measure 17.

"D.S. al Fine" is also ignored.

The 'To Coda' is in the 1st volta, and there it is never reached, as after such a jump (without repeats) MuseScore takes the last round.

What is different between D.C. al Coda, (which works and does the jump), and D.S. al Coda?

In any case, I moved the To Coda to measure 16, and copied measure 17 to the start of the the coda, and D.S. al Coda is now jumping properly.

Thanks!

DC = Da Capo = Go to the very beginning (starting) of piece.
DS = Dal Segno = Go back to the "Segno" sign.

D.C. al Coda should behave the same (except that it humps to the start rather than to the segno)
