da capo?

[MarkRae]

They're called "repeat signs".

"Da capo" isn't quite the same thing, as that means "from the beginning". However, depending on the quality of the quiz, that's probably the answer!

Coda

[grasscarp]

At least if the asker gives number of letters it does kind of help with the answers.....

[MarkRae]

Assuming it's a crossword, or a quiz where the number of letters is given.

But it's *definitely* not "coda", as that is merely the closing section of a piece of music - nothing to do with being played twice...

dal segno al coda
dal segno al fine

BIS, apparently. See separate thread...

why everybody keeps trying when the setter shows no interest is a mystery to me

The setter...?

[grasscarp]

Sorry the person setting the question or asking the question

Ok Whatever we should be calling Jimmyco his interest in the past 40 minutes is nil and I have this feeling that if it is a crossword at the very minimum we need the number of letters.
