Consequent

[edit]

Dal segno is consequent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.106.185.109 (talk) 04:08, 6 October 2008‎

Above or below

[edit]

Should it be indicated whether the sign and text should be placed above or under the staff? Which is more common? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.37.120.20 (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additional citations

[edit]

Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth (talk) 22:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Error in MIDI file

[edit]

"A contrived example showing DS al FINE." The MIDI file is wrong while the description is correct. --SamInside (talk) 10:35, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was taught that a repeated section (a section marked by standard repeat bars) that occurs in a section repeated when taking a Da Capo or a Dal Segno should not be repeated unless otherwise marked. Apparently this convention is not universal however: https://www.ars-nova.com/Theory%20Q&A/Q109.html 2001:569:F8DC:3C00:F547:968F:78A7:E64A (talk) 19:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of symbol

[edit]

Is there any known history of the segno symbol itself, such as the earliest known use or the basis for its graphical design? DMacks (talk) 04:26, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Da capo and Dal Segno have the same purpose in repeating the sections except in the exact places where to begin. Is the statement true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.176.4.209 (talk)

How the Sign Gets Its Look

[edit]

According to the following link, the musical sign is supposed to be a combination of a slanted repeat symbol (which means repeat the previous measure) and the letter “S” (which probably stands for “Segno”). https://www.musicreadingsavant.com/dal-segno-sign/ Cbsteffen (talk) 03:18, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That website strikes me as not a reliable source. —Wahoofive (talk) 02:54, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
