Codas and Varied Codas

• Aug 12, 2024 - 22:27

There's this second Coda symbol in MuseScore 4 called the "Varied Coda," and there's a "Varied Segno" to match. Now, "D.S. Al Coda" markings obviously brings the score back to the Segno and plays until a marking named "To Coda," while I assume that Doppio Segno is the Varied Segno, therefore the marking "D.D.S Al Doppia Coda" will return to the Doppio Segno and play until a marking instructs the music to skip to the Varied/Doppia Coda marking, yet there seems to be no such rehearsal marking, unless I just don't know what I'm meant to look for. I'm working on the song "Something Wild" from Disney's "Pete's Dragon," (I won't publish it online, as the original score was removed due to copyright issues) and the score contains both regular Segno/Coda markings as well as their Varied counterparts. So, I've been able to make the music go as far as repeating back to the Varied Segno, but then rather than jumping to the Varied Coda, it continues back into verse two/three of the song (It's labeled in the original score as verse three, but personally I feel that it's the second verse. In the original score, verse 2 begins with "You've got a big heart.").
