Repeat markers
Repeat markers show that musical material is to be repeated, but unlike repeat endings, repeat markers often involve jumping to different positions and sections in the music instead of moving through the music consecutively.
Positions of repeat markers
Repeat markers are placed above the staff by default, and at the same positions as other system objects. Coda sections are separated from the preceding music by a gap in the system.
Changing the gap before codas
You can change the default gap preceding all coda sections project-wide.

Changing the gap before codas

You can change the default gap preceding all coda sections project-wide.

Procedure

Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
In the category list, click Repeat Markers.
In the Repeat Sections section, change the value for Default gap before mid-system coda section.
Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The gap preceding all coda sections project-wide is changed. Dorico Pro uses the same gap size before the start of codas whether they occur partway through systems or at the start of a new system.

Note

You cannot move the start of systems that start with codas further to the left than the gap set for Default gap before mid-system coda section.
