I might be tempted to pitch in some helper money to get DC and DS Al Coda functionality that can generate the marks and have the option to insert whitespace in front of a coda passage, recognize the flow for midi, error out if the targetcoda, tocoda or targetsegno are missing, etc. IOW possibly add "\DCAlCoda" and "\DSAlCoda" functions that react to the presence of \targetSegno and \targetCoda and \toCoda elsewhere in the piece. Or maybe use "named" \targetSegno, \toCoda and \targetCoda commands that the \DCAlCoda and \DSAlCoda functions could refer to, for cases where a piece has multiple coda jumps.
Right now I am doing all this with \mark commands as markup in conjuction with volta alternatives, I'm using \stopStaff and \startStaff to insert the whitespace and force re-appearance of the clef, key, time for the coda passage. None of it responds to midi flow of course, but it looks nice. Functionalizing this I think would be a popular enhancement, since so much music makes heavy use DC or DS al coda. I would say fully 90% of the pieces I notate use DC or DS Al Coda. Paul Scott-3 wrote: > > David A. Greene wrote: >> Paul Scott wrote: >>> David A.
