Question of Repeats

Setting: using master repeat open & close, & the music is of either form: intro:A:A:B:C:A:A or intro:A:A:C:A; (where A can have multiple special endings). Written: at the end of C a DS al Fine operates, where the Segno is just before the beginning of A, & the Fine is at the last special ending. Noteworthy jumps ok but loses the plot with any repeats or special endings.

After a DS instruction, any repeats are ignored, it just uses the first time (this is normal in music and you need to do much work to get round this in Noteworthy if that's what you need) but if you need to use a particular  special ending, you will need to use the "D" special ending rather than one of the Numbers - So for example, if you need it to go to the 4th special ending, then that special ending should look like :

Just to be clear, in Rick's example above, the Dal Segno instructions are fake, inserted as text. He uses hidden endings to accomplish the play back flow.

Rick, you'r repeatedly a master in faking and hiding! ;)
I mute after this.
Always look on the bright side of life!
