Input CODA, SEGNO and other symbols in Lead Sheet
Please advise me about inputting CODA, SEGNO and other symbols for repeats & jumps (as listed in View - Master Pallette) in my Lead Sheet. I highlight the symbol, but nothing happens. To try this issue, I typed the words. Is there a better solution? An easier fix is to extend the music to two pages, but I'm trying to keep all my lead sheets one pages to make it easier to organize and share my work. Attached is my original song "Hero In Your Heart" by Susan Horowitz copyright 2022

Simply selecting the measure and then clicking the jump in the palette should do
Thanks. I know how to input repeats. I also know what a Segno. D.S. al Coda, and Coda sign are. The problem is that MuseScore does not input the symbols. That's why I typed the words.

I just did, check the score I attached. I just selected the measures with your remarks and then clicked Segno, To Coda, D.S. al Coda resp. Coda from the Repeats and Jumps palette (of the Advanced workspace)

Thanks. I see the problem. I was trying to input by clicking a note or rest. What I needed to do was click the measure. Please look at attached file and tell me if you think it is correct.

I'm missing the "To Coda"?

Did I fix it? (I hope I attached the latest file. It's a little hard to see. I think that when I click, the new files download)

"In your" Measure 31 going down is replaced by Measure 43 going up. They both use A7 chord. Did I put input the "To Coda" in the right place?

You put it into measure 31, that then duplicates measure 43. You'd most probably want it in measure 30, I think, so after measure 30 it jumps to 43

Looks good tome.
Usually a Coda is separated from the rest by a horizontal frame or a system break though

Thanks again. I don't know how to input a "horizontal frame or a system break though" Is this in Master Palette? Or should I underline it?

Select the measure with the D.S. al Coda and press Return and, voila, you have a system break, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/breaks-and-spacers

Thanks so much! I hate to keep bothering you. It's obvious that you know a lot more about music than I do. If you ever want my thoughts about lyrics, and you think I could be helpful, let me know. Thanks again, Sue

Or select the measure with the Coda and use Add > Frames > Insert horizontal frame, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/frames
