Jef,

the proposed standard already uses  s:  for something
different:

<<
2.24. Symbol lines

Adding many symbols to a line of music can make a tune
difficult to read. In such cases, a symbol line (a line
that contains only symbols) can be used, analogous to a
lyrics line. A symbol line starts with 's:', followed
by a line of symbols. Matching of notes and symbols
follows the rules defined in section Lyrics.

Example:

    CDEF | G```AB`c
s: +pp+  | +f+ ** +fff+

I know that you proposed "d:" as the name of this
field, but that choise had a problem. Quoting the draft
standard:

<<
Field identifiers A-G and a-g will not be permitted in
the body to avoid confusion with note symbols.

Again, I'm always open for suggestions.
