Question

I often find the requirement to repeat a section before continuing on with the rest of the score. At that point, direction to a coda is not needed, but D.S al Coda seems to be the only direction available; I cannot find a D.S. symbol in Notion iOS to facilitate the requirement. The use of multiple measure repeat signs is problematic; owing to their use in 1^st and 2^nd time bar repeats, additional repeat signs disrupt the flow of the score, as well as increasing reading complexity.

How might I achieve the repetition of a section without the troublesome use of the multiple measure repeat signs, nor the premature use of the D.S al Coda? If D.S. is available, where do I find it?

Answer 1

You could use the DS al Fine marking if you don't want a Coda - and add Fine at the end of the piece (there's no DS marking on its own in Notion). If playback is not important, then you could just use a text box.
