Question about Proof reading and a D.C

Hi to all.
Trying Dorico 6 with a score from Haydn.

I show you 3 excerpts :


Beginning in major C.

Switching to minor C, and a “fine” label.


Still in minor C. A D.C al fine symbol.

Dorico says :

I don’t understand what he means and what to do.

Thanks for your help

Translated to English:
From C minor, return to C minor with the same alterations
Flow 3, Measure/Bar 44

I guess one could expect a hint to C major at the D.C. repeat. May be a future functionality of Dorico??

I would like to see how Haydn notated this.

On my original score, I only have this :

I don’t know how to add this hint to the return of major C

Like this?

I did some tests :


I got the error message


no message


no message.

and curiously…


no message…

It seems that the problem comes because I’ve both signs at the same time. But I don’t think I can put the DC elsewhere.

It is from the Divertimento in C Major, Hob. XVI:1 by J. Haydn (doubtful).
M.D.C = Menuetto da capo
Sebastian I am pretty sure your notation reflects the original score - except that the C Minor key signature change might have been placed after the repeat bar-line.
If you made a System break after bar 20 you could hide the cautionary key signature.

No errors here:

yes, but it looks ugly - and is not correct for the second repeat..
In these cases one starts contemplating wether it would be better to put the Trio into its own flow…

Ugly, absolutely. Even with the right fine is without errors, while it remains wrong for the second repeat (and not detected).

In case of a Da Capo in a Menuetto movement it’s uncommon to write a cautionary key signature at the end of the Trio. Everybody is supposed to know and remember the key signature of the Menuetto.

I regard this proof reading case as a bit of “overguarding”.

To summarise, best to do is ignoring this message.

Thanks for your help.

BTW, it is Hob XVI-1, indeed.
