DS al coda not working as expected
Hi there you guys.
What I expected from DS al coda in a pattern like this:
||: Segno | | | :|| | | | |coda | DS al coda|codab | | | ||
|_________A_____________|______B______|___________C______________|_____________D___________|
was to play
A 2X
then B
then C
at DS al coda returns to segno
A 2X
then B
ignore C
jumb to D
Do I have it right?
No matter what I have tried always plays C. Is it something I am doing wrong or is it a Musescore bug?
Here is a file with the structure I 've mention earlier.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated

You are doing wrong, it is not a bug: You must set the "To Coda" one measure earlier!

But of course!
You have in measure 8 the “D.S. al Coda.”
And you have in measure 7 the “To Coda” that should be in measure 6! That takes the leap from the end of measure 6 to the D part on the second pass.
I just replaced your (first) coda sign with “To Coda” without changing its function.
Personally, I don't like it when you use the same sign as the jump instruction and the jump destination.

I had the wrong impression and logic that by the time it meet coda ignores the mesure is in. But apparently is not. Is this happening in other occasions too?

I mean is this logic through all kinds of jumbs?

Normally the repeats are not played - as a musician understands it.
If you want the repeats to be played, you must set the checkbox “Play repeats” in the properties of the "D.S. al Coda". You should then change the text to “D.S. al Coda con. rep.” - for the musicians.
This is not a property of "To Coda"!

"D.S. al Coda" Play repeats was checked already but same thing
I am aware of this that is not a property of "To Coda". Please explain, at what measure should "to coda" be placed and if there must be some change in the field "play until" where coda is refered, or not.

“To Coda” must be in the last measure to be played before the jump is executed.

No problem with that. Still not working. Propably is not working well because DS al coda has different references. It expects a "coda" and instead of "coda" finds "to coda" which is ignored and continues playing the rest of the measures.

The D.S. al coda "play until' field works fine out of the box (in conjunction with the To Coda). No need to mess with it.
Unless... open this file:
2-DS al coda problem.mscz
and look at the D.S. al Coda 'Play until' field, then look at the To Coda 'Label'. ;-)
