* '''Da Capo al Coda'''{{anchor|Da Capo al Coda}} (often abbreviated as '''D.C. al Coda'''): Repeat from beginning to an indicated place and then play the tail part (the "[[coda (music)|Coda]]"). It directs the musician to go back and repeat the music from the beginning ("Capo"), and to continue playing until one reaches the first [[coda (music)|coda]] symbol. Upon reaching the first coda symbol, skip to the second coda symbol and continue playing until the end. The portion of the piece from the second coda to the end is often referred to as the "coda" of the piece, or quite literally as "the tail". This may also be instructed by simply using the words ''al Coda'' after which the musician is to skip to the written word ''Coda''.
* '''Da Capo al Segno'''{{anchor|Da Capo al Segno}} (often abbreviated as '''D.C. al Segno'''): It means "From the beginning to the sign (𝄋)".<ref name="S&B">Stainer, John and Barrett, William Alexander (1898).
