The "D.S. al Fine" would go at the end of the C section. The segno goes at the start of the B section with the Fine at the end of the B section. In order for the jumps to work properly you would have to either set the D.S. marking to jump after 2 repetitions or use a 1st/2nd ending setup and place the D.S. marking under the 2nd ending.

But I notice a discrepancy between your subject line, which indicates a form of A-B-C-B-C-D and your message which says A-B-C-B-C-B.

I think you mean the form in your message, not your subject.

I am not quite following you, David. With a simple segno (at the beginning
of B) and D.S. al Fine (at the end of B), I would only get a single repeat
of B.


Can I "mix modes" using both begin/end repeat bar lines and textual repeat
instructions such as D.S. al Fine?


If I used a "begin repeat" bar line at the beginning of B, an "end repeat"
bar line at the end of C, that would insure the first B-C repeat. If I also
placed "Fine" at the end of B, and a "D.S. al Fine" at the end of C (to be
recognized only after 2nd playing of C) wouldn't that be both ugly and
confusing?

I have a song with three different sections: A, B and C.
A is sung once; B, three times; and C, twice in this order: A-B-C-B-C-B.
The first repeat, B-C, is straightforward. What repeat signs instructions to Finale do I use to go back and "sing" B one last time?


I'd like to be able to play it back that way too.

Thanks,

Jim Mays


D.S. al Fine, and place the Fine at the end of the B section. As a target measure for the Fine, in order to get the song to stop, you can either enter 0 or you can enter a number one higher than the number of the final measure.
