Hi.

On the internet I once found on a US homepage a 'description' of the 'serpent segno', the one that looks a bit like § and is over a double bar line within the system. It said that this is very rare and you (the musician) might never see this in your whole life. Well, that is until you want to look over the plate's border (as we say in German) and play some traditional european music, like polkas, waltzes or marches. In these pieces these are used very often. Since I arrange and transcribe a lot of this music I really miss the serpent segno in Noteflight. Right now I added it into the score after it was exported as PDF. But this is not how I want to go in the future, this would be a reason for me to stop my Noteflight account.

So I beg you to add the serpent segno to Noteflight. I attached a score where you can see how it is used.

It works exactly like the other segno, it just looks different and it is placed in the system instead above. Shouldn't be a big deal.

Greetings from Germany ^_^

  I mean, it would be cool, but also kinda intimidating to look at. Although, since these are very rare, I don't know if they'll even add this.
