Deciphering jumps and nested jumps...

• Dec 18, 2020 - 21:19

Hi gang,

I've uploaded a score, "Cornflower Schottische" (a work in progress, it will be a banjo duo when I'm done) which has some odd/nested repeats...and I need help getting musescore to play it back properly.

https://musescore.com/user/8106281/scores/6512494

Hmm. I don't know where the little circled "72" comes from in the score. That shows up as a double coda on my score.

The original score (this is a bit of 1890s banjo music) indicates the following playing sequence:
Intro-A-A-B-A(2nd ending)-C-D-C-A-Fine. The original doesn't have these parts marked, I've just added them for clarity. The original has some 'creative' jump markings like single and double segnos (segni?) and single and double codas with some textual directions, all of which are relatively common for the era and reasonably understandable. All I really want is for the playback sequence to be correct so I can output it to an mp3 file. I'll add/update the textual sequence directions as required.

I seem to have been able to get the file to do everything properly but the jump back to the beginning and then to FINE (end of C to A then FINE).

Any help I can get is much appreciated!

Standard notation only allows for one Jump instruction per measure, so your final text is writing something that doesn't really exist.

See the attached example for some trickery by appending a very short measure and speeding through it, then making it invisible and positioning the measure before it on top.

Thank you! Trickery indeed...

Yes, I understand about jumps per measure...I just couldn't think outside the box, sometimes I get too focused on the original. I don't need a notation score to print (I'll print a tab score), so I can append whatever measures I want to get the mp3 to work. As soon as I saw your post, I realized I could re-arrange the whole thing temporarily (or just a separate file) just to create the mp3. Easy to do.

I find many of these pieces were created to fill the publisher's needs; keep it to a format, number of pages, etc. I often truncate them with volta, etc. for my own needs. No reason not to alter it here.

Thanks again!
