So far, as a total beginnner, I've produced several different pdf's of single stave notes with title, composer, tempo and multirests. However, my segno touches the next note. Can I shift it? No. Neither up or sideways. Not using padding, \once \override, #'extra-offset or musicglyph, mark or markup or spaces in quotes. My
D.S. al Coda remains firmly fixed, nestling obstinately among the notes and my Coda sign and text will not go where I want them to. With Sibelius, I just pick the **@(**& up with the mouse and deposit it but with lilypond this will not do. Surely, something as simple as positioning the segno would be self-evident? Wouldn't it?
