DS al coda - Help!

Post by Will Cowell »

I have the 2007 version of BIAB, which for a beginner like me does the job just fine. BUT....

I am trying to do a track for "One Day I'll Fly Away" which is such a beautiful song. I need to do "DS al coda" but BIAB doesn't seem to support putting in that little sign ("segno") to go back to.

It'll do "da capo al coda" no problemo. But I don't want to go back to the beginning. I want to go back to the end of the first verse to pick up the chorus, about 8 bars in.

Any help please?

Hi Will, you can specify which bar the verse or chorus starts, in your case 8 bars in by clickin on the button next to the tempo setting.

Thanks, Andy. I'm kicking myself because it's right there in the Repeats/Endings dialog box - except the blank songsheet I started with still has "repeats x3""as a default setting and I can't shift that. Nearly there now...
