Dal Segno

In music notation, Dal segno (/ˌdæl ˈseɪnjoʊ/ or /ˈsɛɡnoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [dal ˈseɲɲo]), often abbreviated D.S., is used as a navigation marker. From Italian for "from the sign," D.S. appears in sheet music and instructs a musician to repeat a passage starting from the sign shown at right, sometimes called the "segno" in English. Two common variants: * D.S. al coda instructs the musician to go back to the sign, and when Al coda or To coda is reached jump to the coda symbol. * D.S. al fine instructs the musician to go back to the sign, and end the piece at the measure marked fine.
