Re: Da capo

[Stephan Schöll]

Thanks a lot, Jean and Hans

I added a comment and the URL to the thread in the archive directly in the lilypond source code so that next time a grep for "da capo" will lead me to this most recent example in my repeat library :-)

Best regards

Stephan

Hey Ponders

It feels like I struggle with almost each and every repeat variant. While I already have a couple of variants in my score colletion to look up, it seems that I'm missing a "da capo al fine" variant (state of the art).

I have a very simple A - B - A tune.

• How should the barlines at "fine" and at the end "D.C. al fine" look like - according to Gould?

I don't have Gould with me, but the standard is to use a final bar line ("|.") at "fine" and a double bar line ("||") at "DC al fine”.

That's indeed also what it should look like according to Gould (p238)

• What up-to-date repeat structure should I use?

The structure for a "DC al fine" repeat is the same as for a "DS al fine" repeat, namely the first example on https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/long-repeats#segno-repeat-structure , just without music before the \repeat segno. E.g.,

\version "2.24.1"

\fixed c' {
  \repeat segno 2 {
    g1 g1 g1
    \volta 2 \fine
    \volta 1 {
      a1 a1 a1
    }
  }
  \section
}

Best,
