Re: 2.23.81 coda in new staff or after blank space

[Benjamin Tordoff]

+1 to Paul’s question.

I have a couple of different work-arounds for formatting dc + coda that I used 
in the past. Having converted to the new segno/section tools the codas in the 
player parts are a little harder to read. 

For multi-bar codas that fill one or more lines  I can insert a line-break so 
that they become easier to spot. However pieces like Vaughan-William’s Folk 
Song Suite where the coda is only one or two bars long are typically set with a 
small blank space (ie no stave at all) between dc and coda instead. I’ve yet to 
find a good way to do this whilst also using the new segno system. (Not that my 
old way was particular good either…)

That said, the new segno repeats look better than my work-around and mean I can 
give players accurate midi/mp3 parts to practice along to without tedious 
cut-and-paste in GarageBand. A huge saving.

Thanks

Ben
