How do I do a few repeats of the form before going to a DS al Coda?

[tyroneshuz]

Hello all, love this thing in general, and even more as I figure out the stuff it's capable of.

I have a little ditty that has an intro (I figured that out) then it basically goes A B A B etc, let's just say 4 times, then I'd like to do an A plus a coda. I know to put the DS al coda sign after the B section, and then hit the first coda sign at the end of A, then the second coda sign to begin a new line with my coda. But how do I tell the chart to do it 4x before the last A? I'd need something like "form 4x, then DS al coda" or something. Doable?

I would like to know this too. I just edited "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" to do it like we do it, i.e. the last four bars are doubletimed (condensed into 2) and you only do it the way it's originally charted the very last time (no matter how many times you repeat the chorus). So i inserted the two doubletime bars before the last four, put a D.C. al Coda at the end of the second doubletime bar, and put coda at the end of the bar before the two new bars, and a coda sign at the beginning of the last four. Now it plays the song 2x and does the coda correctly the 2nd time but I really want any arbitrary # of reps (set by the rep count outside of the chart) of the chorus and the coda ONLY the very last time. I tried 3x, that didn't work. Here's my chart

When you use "DC al Coda", you are telling the player that the coda is part of the form and is played each time.

With the instruction removed, your chart plays the coda only the final time.

How to make the "Jump From Coda" wait for the repeat?

I'm fairly new to editing, but am finding myself doing a rather sophisticated chart. I think I have everything working except one thing. When I "DS al Coda", it jumps back to a section that is repeated. My "Jump From Coda" is at the end of that section. But it jumps to the "Jump To Coda" without performing the repeat. I need it to perform the repeat, not just play that part through once.

I tried to workaround this by moving the Jump From Coda to the beginning of the next section (which I don't want it to play). This does succeed in getting the repeat to be played, but it does also play the first chord of that other section, which I don't want. So I'm out of ideas.

Basically, if this was math and repeat symbols were parentheses, I'd want the Jump From Coda to be OUTSIDE the parentheses.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Then post your problem chart here.

Thanks so much for the reply.

The link had helpful info, so I cleaned a few things up. But this problem is still present. The link says to post my chart directly from the app, but I can't find any way to find this forum thread from within the app. So hopefully Share > Export Chord Chart > Forums and then pasting here in my web browser will be okay. If it doesn't look right, I'll try another way.

Notice how the player doesn't perform the repeat that it is in when it reaches the Jump From Coda.

Thanks!
