Yes, I think you made it up. It looks awfully confusing to me, and
probably impossible to sight read.
Aaron.
How is it confusing?
I added for comparison what is probably the standard layout to:
http://www.yatesguitar.com/misc/ABA.gif
The problem is that the ending marked '2' is just one measure. The 'A'
section and the 'B' section are each a page and a half. The standard layout
makes a whole additional page turn just to play one measure that ends the
piece.
It seems simpler, using the upper layout, to just play everything straight
through, jumping over that one measure marked '2', and then go to the top
again and play to 'Fine'.
You almost have it correct. You shouldn't reverse the 2nd and 1st
endings ever, in my opinion.
But you can make the first ending be one measure, then have 1st ending
and 2nd ending but without a repeat sign in the 1st ending. People
would continue on to play the music which follows the 2nd ending (the
page-and-a-half B section), then D.C. to play the page-and-a-half A
section) and skip the 1-bar 1st ending and play the 1-bar 2nd ending.
