Well, if we just copy-and-pasted and not have to worry about D. S.'s and D. C.'s and D. Q.'s and Fine's and Codas and signs here and signs here and there, we wouldn't have to worry about using these things.
Using D.C.'s and "roadmap" signs are confusing to the player. We should be able to read pieces of music from top to bottom without hopping around like a jackrabbit. "For this had and toast breakfast I pancakes morning coffee." See if you can read the above sentence in the proper word order...doesn't work! How long did it take you? Same idea with D.S's and D.C's. Everything should always be: top to bottom, no jumps -- end of story. I've hated them ever since I was a child. 20+ years later, it still stands. Don't make music-reading difficult. Everything should read like a written sentence.
