This requires good LilyPond code for formatting the coda, and
integration with the repeat structures. The good formatting code can be
done by someone versed in LilyPond/Scheme. The integration requires
working with the C++ part of LilyPond but has comparatively modest
requirements. So if the formatting part is solved with whatever syntax,
the integration into \repeat syntax is comparatively light work for
specialists even if not low-hanging.
