Re: Problem with Codas

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Robert (et al.),

> I think codas are formatted like this in most professional music scores.

Lilypond should continue in its tradition of (a) doing things very well, and 
(b) wherever/whenever possible, doing things with incredible flexibility and 
extensibility. Therefore, something along the lines of David K's syntax 
suggestion

> \repeat coda 2 { %{ segno appears here %} common part }
>     \alternative { { %{ coda sign here %} first part }
>     { %{ actual coda formatted here %} coda } }

would (I think) be best, with switches and parameters and settings as to how 
the layout engine should interpret this graphically.

Cheers,
Kieren.
