NR 1.4.1 Segno repeat appearance

How can I get only "D.S. al Coda" without a segno after the "D.S."?

This question seems similar to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2022-11/msg00203.html.

Oops!  I had forgotten that.

Thank you for your patienc|e and all of your help and all that you do for Lilypond!||

D.S. followed by a segno sign is actually redundant since the S. stands
for segno.

“Segno“ means “sign”.

That's why it's redundant.  That's why I almost never see the variation from the Lilypond documentation in music that I work with.

“Dal segno 𝄋” is not redundant, it just means “go back to the sign 𝄋”. “Dal segno” means “go back to the sign”, where which sign is being referred to is left implicit.

Everyone I know calls 𝄋 the sign, so “Dal segno 𝄋 would be spoken as "go to the sign the sign.
