Music notation glossary · Repeats and jumps
Coda
the closing section
As a Unicode character — to paste into text, spreadsheets or chat. Whether it appears depends on the font.
In the score
What it means
The circled cross marks both the jump and the closing section. It always appears twice: once where you leave, once where you land.
Repeat signs
Dal Segno al Coda jumps back to the sign and, the second time To Coda is reached, out into the coda — the ending of its own. Whatever stands between To Coda and the coda is skipped on that second pass. That gives a piece an ending that happens only once.
