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.

In Dorico Elements, repeat markers are divided into the following types:

Repeat jumps

Specify the position from which players or playback must jump, such as D.C. al Coda. You can qualify the conditions under which repeat jumps are used, such as second time only.

Repeat jumps are right-aligned with their rhythmic position, meaning their text or symbol ends at that rhythmic position and extends to the left.

Repeat sections

Specify the destinations for jumps, such as segno or coda, or where the music should end, such as Fine. In Dorico Elements, coda sections that start mid-system are automatically separated from the preceding music with a gap.

Repeat markers are left-aligned with their rhythmic position, meaning their text or symbol starts at that rhythmic position and extends to the right.

By default, repeat markers are shown on a single line.
