I'm going through an arrangement in the Pop Goes Classical book for Hotel California, and I'm having a bit of trouble in reading this sheet music.
So it gets to a point in the music where it has D.S. al Coda, which brings us from the Chorus back to the verse....and you play it with repeats.
So you go back through it all through the chorus and it has a To Coda at the end....so I go to the only Coda in the music.
The problem I run into is that there is another "to Coda" after the intro....and there is no D.C al Coda anywhere in the music.
Do I just repeat the beginning until the first "to Coda" after playing the piece? There is no repeat at the end of the music. There is what looks like an "apostrophe" though.

I think you'll find it's a comma, and you use it as you would a comma in written stuff.
Sounds like there's a printing error at the end of the intro - pretty poor when you consider how much music costs.

I'm with Alan, a misprint.
I've compiled 29 fake disks, for Band-in-a-Box, and 28 of them from published music books. The errors in the books are not common, but they are not rare either. It seems to me they should give each book to a non-involved musician to proofread before releasing it.

Thanks guys. That just seemed like a pretty glaring error. But it just didnt make sense in tue book to be there...but you never know. Lol.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an error.
I have 2 different "how to play..." type books that I found errors in (after struggling for some time to actually do what was written)
It seems that proofreading isn't a high priority for some publishing houses.
"We'll just fix it in the next edition/release/version".. sounds like the software business :roll:
