Repeats and Jumps Problem

• Aug 30, 2016 - 00:29

I have a song with the following structure:

Intro
Verse 1
Verse 2
Bridge 1
Verse 3
Verse 4
Bridge 2
Outro

The attached file represents one (failed) attempt at producing this flow. I've tried various other things, including using DS al Codas, but can't get the flow to work the way I want.

Help appreciated!

Thank you, Kuwitt. That certainly accomplishes the flow I need. But I note that you've called it a "workaround". Would a musician understand the notation in your workaround score? Or is the flow I want just not something that is accommodated by standard notation?

For the musician it would be clear the order in this way you've written the piece (without "d.s.") and I think it's a good way to write it down in this way. The additional "D.S." in your example would be confusing for the reader of the music sheet (at least in my opinion).

So it's a workaround for a correct playback in musescore, not for the way of notation.

For the printout you should make invisible the "D.S." and the Segno in this special example (deselect "visible" in the inspector).

A musician would understand "DS al Coda (play repeats)" and you would only need a workaround to get MuseScore to take the repeats since the default is not to take repeats.
