Many moons ago I learned how to play instruments by jamming along to songs on the stereo. I did learn how to read music but didn't have any teachers since junior high school. I recently bought a Lennon & McCartney book for violinists but a few things don't match up. I don't really understand Coda marks. A couple of the songs I'm learning to fiddle from the book don't match up. On the sheet music I see "To Coda then D.S Coda at Coda and ending Coda. I would sure love to get some direction to understanding this a bit more.

That helps a bit. I think the book I have has some Coda marks in the wrong place maybe? I'll keep on fiddling and study and learn along the way.

You just need the words then it makes sense.
D.C. al Fine = Go back to the beginning and end at Fine
D.S. al Fine = Go back to the sign and end at Fine.
D.C. al Coda = Go back to the beginning, play to the coda sign, skip to and play the Coda
D.S. al Coda = Go back to the sign and play to the coda sign, skip to and play the Coda
D.C. = da capo
D.S. = dal segno
The Coda is marked with a symbol that looks like a circle with an + going through it.
