Hello!
I have a Song in A Major (4 Sharp), and I have insert a repetition “dal S al ø e poi la coda”, but the coda have a tonality change in C Major. There Is not accidental which cancels previous accidentals. Please see the attachment… How Can I show accidentals in the First bar of Coda?
Thank you for your auggestions.
Having experimented a little, I don’t think there’s an easy way round this. Dorico always shows the key signature at the start of a Coda, and if that key signature happens to change, it doesn’t show cancellation accidentals. This is presumably standard practice. It’s also presumably because complicated repeat structures could logically involve jumping to a Coda multiple times from different places with different key signatures.
For example, you could have
Verse 1: A Major
Jump to
Coda: C Major (three naturals)
Jump to
Verse 2: D Major
Jump (again) to
Coda: C Major (two naturals)
In this instance it would be nonsensical to have cautionary accidentals.
You may be able to fudge it by adding a very short extra measure at the start of the Coda, in A major, then adding the C major key signature at the start of the following bar. Removing the rest would be easy but hiding the barline would be a pain, and you’d need to do it separately in each layout.
Thank you Pianoleo!!
I thought there was a chance to force Key signature…
Thank you very much!
