Is there a way of putting space into a score between the last measure (where you would put the D.S. AL CODA) and the beginning of the Coda? To me it looks kind of close to have the Coda begin right after the measure where you put the D.S. I tried putting in a blank measure, but Sibelius counts it as a measure and in the extracted parts it's just a measure with nothing in it and the musicians would read it as such.

Thanks

If you have created the coda structure properly, there is a gap before the coda starts, which you can make larger if you like.
Pp 559 in the Sib 7 manual, though I don't know what version you are using. Good luck.

Bob,

Thanks for showing me the right way to do this. I didn't put the Coda in correctly. I now have the space I need at the coda. The problem I'm having now is when I come to the bar where it says D.S. al Coda, it goes back to the beginning of the song, not to the D.S sign. And when it comes to "go to Coda" it doesn't go there it just continues on to the next bar. I'm pretty sure I'm entering the signs right......I think.

I've never used the coda function so I'll have to give it a whirl. I'll report back. Might take a day or two, sorry.
