I've also missed some simple way to include a feta symbol in a
text string. The following workaround can be used for now:
Include the following line in the \header section of your file:
latexheaders = "\\font\\feta=feta20";
write "Dal {\\feta\\char{59}} al Fine" and
"D.C. al {\\feta\\char{60}}" respectively.
The character codes of the different symbols can be found in
mf/out/feta20.tex

Using the same idea as above, try: \mark "\\feta{59}";

No idea, assuming that you want to resume the staff on the same line.

You mean that you don't want the text script to affect the note
spacing? Then the answer is simply to set
\property Voice.textEmtyDimension = 1;

Check out Section 10.3. ``Context properties�� in the Reference
manual, the textStyle and textScriptPadding properties are probably
what you are looking for.

??? The different alternative endings are numbered when you use
\repeat volta. Or do you want to get som numbers in conjunction
with \repeat unfolded?

\mark "\\myownfancycirklingcommand{43}";
Just use your LaTeX skills to get implement the circle. Please post
your solution, since others may be interested. :-)
