Coda sign instead of "To Coda"

Dorico

Good day…

As a primarily jazz and commercial composer/arranger, it’s common to use the coda sign at the jump point as well as at the beginning of the actual coda section.

Can anyone tell me how to use the sign instead of text at the jump point? Thus far, my experimentation and searching only gives me the text version.

TIA

You should be able to set the custom text property to a space…

(Or set the Engraving Option>Repeat Marks>Repeat Jumps... to symbol only, if you want this everywhere)

To get the coda sign at the jump point, use this setting, in Engraving Options > Repeat Markers > Repeat Jumps:

Thank you both!! This worked. I don’t know why I couldn’t find it in the manual.
