Above or below
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)

Error in MIDI file
"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)


 * 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)

Origin of symbol
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)

[Untitled]
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
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)
