Also:

Never underestimate the benefit of having a foolproof roadmap. All other things being equal, from a sightreading perspective it is far, far preferable to have a part that reads straight through from beginning to end than it is to have a part with jumpers (D.C., D.S., etc).

I guess the problem of music looking the same doesn't matter here in Los

I have never used the DS al CODA feature. It is so easy to just copy

And what about when you then have to make changes to that music after you've entered it? You have to make it in two places.

Secondly, you're losing important information for the performer.
Copying the same music obscures the fact that it *is* exactly the
same music, something that's immediately clear from a DS or da capo.
For a performer to know "this is exactly the same music I played
before" can be very helpful, as opposed to "this seems to be very
similar to the music I played before."
