My alternative to the latter suggestion was just to mark a repeating segment as continuing to repeat after any other segments had interrupted it. That sounds quite useful from any perspective (e.g. for drum fills), although the mapping on to notation might not always be so obvious in practice. What do you think? > DC/DS al CODA/Fine could be done the same way as ordinary repeats: > [...complicated description...] Now the problem I have with all this, is that DC/DS is already a somewhat ambiguous, limited notation that's a bit of a nasty hack to start with. I don't think putting a big load of logic into the sequencer to reproduce the very particular structure of these arrangements is going to get anyone very far. To be honest, for these I would almost prefer just to support the notation but not to play it. At some time in the future, one could in theory play things like that using some sort of loop/flow track which suggests where to hop from A to B and when (as Silvan mentioned the other day), or I suppose one could have an option to follow notation flow without showing it in the sequencer if desired.
