help on AABBCCAC structure...Ah! Cavaquinho! as example

Ah! Cavaquinho! - Erothides deCampos
Test...this is my first try at an upload, not sure that the file is actually going to post. Anyway, my question is this, I built a song with A,B,C sections, put repeat brackets at beginning and end of each section, then a DS al Capo mark at the end of C leading back to A, and a coda mark at the end of A leading to C. The player is ignoring the C section completely and playing it as an AABB format. Any comments on what I need to do differently? Is there a place to instruct the player on the overall format?

Cool! looks like the file uploaded. Thanks in advance for advice!

Look at this:

Ah! Cavaquinho! 1 - Erothides deCampos

A coda will play only one time at the end of the final run through the song.

 

[d1willis]

Thank you! That makes sense on the coda. Was that keeping it from playing the C part also?

 

[pdxdjazz]

Yes (until the very end)
While you think of it as the C-part, the player thinks it's just the final tag (coda) in your initial chart.
