Not going to CODA
Help with three issues on the attached score please.
Firstly why is it not going to the coda at the 'To Coda' marking?
Secondly, what is the strange graphic by rehearsal mark F? To the best of my knowledge I didn't put it there and I can't delete it although it doesn't show on the parts.
Thirdly, is there a way to play the handclaps without inserting a percussion stave?
Thanks

First two questions are related - that symbol is apparently a bogus coda marking that is attached to measure 39 and then dragged off the page. This is also why there is a huge margin above that system. To select it, click the double barline before 39 and press Alt+Right (shortcut for "select next element"). Check the status bar, you'll see a "marker" has been selected even though you can't see it. Press Ctrl+R and the strange marking comes home. Looks like a coda was added then the text of the marking edited to contain just a notehead from the Special Characters dialog. Anyhow, press Delete and those problems all go away
To play handclaps, easiest is probably to go ahead and add the percussion staff but make it invisible (in Edit / Instruments) if you don't want to see it. but you might also be able to use the instrument change from the Text palette to switch between sounds for an existing staff.

Thank you for your very helpful reply.
I have absolutely no idea how the bogus coda marking got there. I guess it must have been by my hand, but I have no idea how. Thanks for the soution.
I'm not too bothered about the hand claps, and not really bothered about a percussion stave. I'll play with your other suggestion and see what it can do.
Thanks again for your help.
