Great... and I agree that this would be very useful for drum fills too. But maybe it could be usefull to allow for a variable number of interrupting segments. So maybe this should just be a feature to place a "shadow" of a previous segment. > Now the problem I have with all this, is that DC/DS is already a > somewhat ambiguous, Well.. yes.

There's continuing balance between sequencing and notation features. If you use the sequencer to produce performing music, notation is not such a big issue. If you need pure notation so produce sheet music, the sqeuencer is mostly just in the way and you would probably do better with pure Lilypond. However... if you (as I) arrange music of a 25 person orchestra (with often changing instrumentation), you pretty much need both. It would not be a too big problem not having "DC/DS al Fine" - but "...al CODA" would be very nice. Hearing that your ending works in context before you print and distribute the music is nice.
