How to write key sign before reprise.

• Mar 3, 2025 - 06:36

Greetings!
Question is on the picture — in reprise, I need to go back from C major to G major.
How I can write the key?
..
Perhaps the problem is that instead of the phrase “End” (Конец) and “From the beginning to the word end” (С начала до слова конец), the standard note spelling does not have an appropriate repetition mark?

The equivalent symbols in languages that use Italian for textual musical instructions are D.C. al Fine and Fine. Based on your translations of the symbols you're using, I'm guessing that you have the correct symbols. You probably don't want a repeat sign there.

I can't find a way to make that courtesy key signature appear there. I hope someone can tell us that I'm wrong.

However, I was able to fake this by adding an additional measure at the end. The D.C. al Fine in the measure before it (the actual final measure) means that this measure never plays. I set the key signature on this non-playing measure to the key you start with, so the key signature appears after the final normal barline and before the whole-measure rest in that final measure. Then I went to Format / Style / Measures and set "Minimum measure width" to the minimum value it will accept (appears to be "2.00sp") and Barline to key signature to "0". I selected that final normal barline and pressed V to make it invisible. I also made that final whole-measure rest invisible.

See the example score that I made: 20250303 021200.mscz
