Re: Definition of repeats using segno and coda

[Volodymyr Prokopyuk]

Hi Jean,

I've tried the minimal example and it works! Let me find out what is wrong with my real use case.

\version "2.24.8"

\relative {
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  \repeat segno 2 {
    a'1 1 1 1
    \alternative {
      \volta 1 { b1 1 1 1 }
      \volta 2 { \section \sectionLabel "Coda" }
    }
  }
  c1 1 1 1
}

Thank you for the snippet!

Good evening, Jean,

I've used the suggested repeat structure (see the attached code), but it does not produce the desired result (see the attached PDF). Sorry for not being compliant with the minimal example requirement.

By imperative instructions I mean not using the proposed code structure for repeats, but instead using explicit \codaMark and a literal text D.C. ... al Coda in the appropriate places in the code.

I'm using Lilypond 2.24.0.

Thank you,

Vlad

Hi,

I'd like to find out the right way to define repeats using segno and coda.

**Desired output written in scores
**

Section A { ^codaMark } Section B { _D.C. al codaMark a poi la Coda } { ^Coda } Section C

Order of sections to play
Section A => Section B => Section A => Section C

Questions

• What is the minimal code structure to declaratively implement the above repeat order? I guess the \repeat segno and \alternatives will be used

This works for me:

\version "2.24.1"

mus = {
  \repeat segno 2 {
    a'1 1 1
    \alternative {
      \volta 1 {
        b'1 1 1
      }
      \volta 2 {
        \section
        \sectionLabel "Coda"
      }
    }
  }
  c''1 1 1
}


{ \mus }

• Is there a way to imperatively instruct the { _D.C. al codaMark a poi la Coda } repeat instruction?

What do you mean by “imperatively instruct”?

Regards,

Jean
