My alternative to the latter suggestion was just to mark a repeating 
segment as continuing to repeat after any other segments had 
interrupted it.  That sounds quite useful from any perspective (e.g. 
for drum fills), although the mapping on to notation might not always 
be so obvious in practice.  What do you think?

Now the problem I have with all this, is that DC/DS is already a 
somewhat ambiguous, limited notation that's a bit of a nasty hack to 
start with.  I don't think putting a big load of logic into the 
sequencer to reproduce the very particular structure of these 
arrangements is going to get anyone very far.

To be honest, for these I would almost prefer just to support the 
notation but not to play it.  At some time in the future, one could in 
theory play things like that using some sort of loop/flow track which 
suggests where to hop from A to B and when (as Silvan mentioned the 
other day), or I suppose one could have an option to follow notation 
flow without showing it in the sequencer if desired.
