Dal segno

In music notation, dal segno (UK: /dæl ˈsɛnj/, US: /dɑːl ˈsnj/, Italian: [dal ˈseɲɲo]), often abbreviated as D.S., is used as a navigation marker. Defined as "from the sign" in Italian, D.S. appears in sheet music and instructs a musician to repeat a passage starting from the sign shown at right, sometimes called the segno in English.
