Coda - how exactly do I do that?

• Oct 29, 2012 - 10:33

Please see the screenshot attached for the item I have issues with.
This is what I set up: "Hymne a la vierge" from Pierre Villette. In bar 9 we'll sing the same for verse 1 and 2. For verse 3 there is an alternation. For verses 1 and 2 we will then continue singing in bar 11, but for verse 3 we will skip to the coda after we sang the variation.
Now I read the manual and I saw the video about codas and did exactly what they said, but the MIDI file will still play everything after bar 10 also for verse 3 (which is wrong).
Can anybody point me to what I may do wrong?

The "to Coda" is linked to bar 10. The entire score can be found here: http://mus.cr/Q1ln26

Thanks for your help.

I believe there is a bug in the current version of MuseScore where playback of DS/DC/coda doesn't work right in some cases, if the measure containing the jump is also a the start or end or a repeat, or something like that. I believe that is already fixed for the next major version, although won't be out for a while.

Meanwhile, the workaround would be to use a sequencer to edit the MIDI file. Or set up a copy of the score where the repeats are simply written out (via copy/paste) for playback purposes.

It's hard to tell in your score if that is the issue, because I don't fully understand what you are trying to do. I gather you are trying to use the volta markings not as repeat endings but as alternate versions of a measure *within* a repeat? I'm certainly not surprised if that doesn't work; it isn't really standard.
