For that, see \repeat segno, or if your use case doesn't fit the possibilities of \repeat segno, use \codaMark. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/long-repeats.html#segno-repeat-structure For arbitrary markup use \textMark or \textEndMark. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/writing-text.html#text-marks signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

If s0 is more > intuitive then that should be considered for future inclusion. It's intuitive to me that s0 means a spacer rest of infinite duration, because it's one whole note divided by zero. And it opens the door to using 0 as a duration denominator for other things than "s", as in "c0" and "0", let alone constructions like "s0." which would seem to be a spacer of one and one half times infinite duration. I don't think it's a good idea to open those doors. There doesn't seem to be any way to allow zero as the duration denominator except as a unique exception; it cannot be done in a way that's consistent with other syntax. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before tribes. https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/

Hi lilypond,

That strikes me as being a programmer's response, and I speak as a
programmer for over 50 years. Using <> works, but it is unintuitive. If
s0 is more intuitive then that should be considered for future inclusion.
Intuitively, I would have expected <> to generate an empty space equal
to the length of the preceding note, i.e. a chord that just happens to
contain no notes.
First, I have a "\repeat unfold N { ... }" and I want to surround the
whole thing with a crescendo.
I could unpack the first and last item in the repeat, but I feel
lily lilypond has some way to do an equivalent of "s0_\< \repeat
unfold N { ... } s0_\!"
The second is for putting a mark, eg a coda, at the very end of a
measure, over the barline (not over the last note, or the first note
of the next measure).
Are there nice ways to do this?
Thanks!

The counterexample is
\new Voice { c'4\< g' c'2 s1*0\! }
\addlyrics { What is this? }
This works when using <> instead.
