    Default Can't figure out how to make program play lead break.(ABBBAB)

    Hello, this is 1st post and I hope it is in the correct place.

    I know a little about musical symbols but not a lot. Took piano as a kid, but it's been a long time.

    I am creating a song that is verse/chorus/lead ride/verse/chorus outro. I am doing just fine except I can't figure out how to make it play the (same as verse) lead break. I now have an A part which is the verse and a B part which is the chorus. I want to just have the verse play and then send it back up and play the hole thing again after the initial verse/chorus. Or maybe I should do a separate verse(lead ride) down below and send it down there and back?? I want it to play verse/chorus/lead ride(verse)/verse/chorus out

    Can somebody help me with an easy (or any) way to do this??

    Adding the appropriate D.C. instruction wil return the player to the top of the page.

    For assistance with your specific chart, it's easier for other members to help if you post your problem chart along with your description of the problem.

    You might have already finished your song using the information in Bob's links in the previous post, but we have just started a Guides blog and coincidentally a Coda one has just been published.
    http://irealpro.com/how-the-coda-sym...-in-ireal-pro/
    (Other helpful blogs will be posted from now on as we have time to produce them.)

    Using this idea, one way would be to copy/paste the verse below (to make its form ABA) then add text DC al Coda at the last measure (bar) at the end of this second A section (which is your lead ride verse). This will tell the player to go to the beginning again then continue until the coda symbol, then jump to the coda itself (your ending measures).
    Add a coda symbol (see the blog as there is a DC al Coda shown) at the last measure of the B section.
    After your lead ride section, on the line below add in another coda symbol to indicate this is where the Coda starts, a left barline and any chords and barlines to create your measures needed to finish the ending.
