Yes, it's a surprisingly difficult problem even for the simple repeats. I think the only thing we can rely on doing without confusion is to default to showing repeats on barlines that end segments that are set as repeating. I'm not sure whether we can even reliably do the reverse (that is, mark a segment as repeating in the main view if someone sets a repeating barline at the end of it). We possibly can, but there still various problems with both of these: for example, the only way to have a repeating segment without playing the repeat is to place another segment immediately after it, and that gives you no way to quickly switch repeats on and off. From the notation point of view, it almost makes more sense to store repeats and segnos/codas/1-2-endings globally like time signature changes, rather than in individual segments. Possibly. I don't much like that though for other reasons (introducing a global "control flow" mechanism is a complicated enough idea without then artificially limiting it by basing it on what happens to work well in classical notation). > I was thinking you might decide to implement static events > that show up as window dressing, but which don't actually alter > playback. That seems wrong, yet pragmatic. I think for segno at least we should certainly do that first. The other thing I mentally place in the same category as these is bracketed/joined staffs (e.g. for piano etc). Again, these are things that suggest something about the structure of your track/instrument arrangement besides just graphics.
