Rachael, eureka! The light bulb finally came on , dimly mind you. It took your comment about unfolding the chart for me to reach over and finally flip the switch to up! What I was doing wrong was, I was copying the chart exactly as written off sheet music then adding the sign. What I neglected to remember was that the whole score has to be written out (exception of using generate bars option), since the DC al fine is just another type of repeat. Once I wrote out the complete sheet music and then put in the DC al fine the chart plays as it should.
I still have two more questions:
Why is there always one more bar with a chord in it after the end of the song. For example this song ends on bar 90 and is set up that way with no extra bar ending etc., yet at bar 91 there is an “F” chord that I can’t delete. It doesn't play or sound.
When playing back the chart when the cursor hits the second repeat after the DC al fine it does not show up until it finishes that repeat. then continues for the remaining bars. I imagine it is something in how the software is written?
In any case I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with my problem. Thankfully as in most instances it was my operator error/ignorance. This forum continues to be a compliment to the generosity of assistance given freely by its members. Thanks. DennisD
