Kurt Stone shows that the right symbol is the circle with the cross. I do agree without hesitation because of the confusion that can be made by using a Coda sign. If there are any chances that Coda sign and stopping the sound symbol co-exist in a piece, this is already more than enough for me to avoid using the same symbol. Remember that because there is no such symbol in Coda's default fonts (Maestro or Petrucci), it is possible that music has been published using the most ressembling symbol that could be found. just my 2 ¢ (CAN) Eric Dussault p.s. it is indeed available in Maestro Percussion and Engraver Font Extra (both shift-p) ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I remember reading [*] that the perfectly circular symbol is more correct, but the coda sign is an acceptable alternative if a true circle isn't available. I would say the distinction is only typographic -- in the same category as using a regular asterisk to end a piano pedal, or an ordinary bold italic "mp" for a dynamic mark. It will be preferred to use the symbol tailored more specifically for the task, but the alternative isn't wrong per se. In a stylized music font, the symbol might not look exactly like either, but it would still be some sort of circle with a cross through it. Likewise for handwritten. mdl [*] I think that was in a guideline for engraving handbell music, from about ten years ago. ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

That circle symbol is absolutely looking different compared to the "coda" symbol.

Schirmer (among other publishers, I believe) thinks there is a difference. If you compare the symbol in slot #70 in the Toccatta font (also used to muffle a concert bass drum) to a coda sign, you will see the difference as well. ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Harp stop sound symbol
What is, in harp notation, the "correct" notation symbol to use for stopping the sound from the harp. The sources I have differ: Some say it looks like a perfect circle with a cross (where the lines of the cross extend somewhat beyond the circle). Others say it should be the same as the "coda" sign.

[Finale] Harp stop sound symbol
Hello! What is, in harp notation, the "correct" notation symbol to use for stopping the sound from the harp. The sources I have differ: Some say it looks like a perfect circle with a cross (where the lines of the cross extend somewhat beyond the circle). Others say it should be the same as the "coda" sign.
