I'd personally like a 'markup' function that simplifies
adding 'D.C..' of 'D.S..' statements on a piece of
music.
I usually have to end up having to use the method of making
the string I want a rehearsal mark and
then putting that rehearsal mark 'DOWN' and
futzing about with font sizes, and then I still have to add a
Segno makr of a fine etc.
As far as I can make out for standard western
notation there are 6 types of this 'notation'.
Da Capo
Da Capo al Fine
Da Capo al Segno
Da Capo al Segno e poi la Coda
Dal Segno
Dal Segno al Fine
So you could have two functions
\dacapo
\dalsegno
with options like
\dacapo \fine \segno \coda
\dalsegno \fine
The two base commands (\dacapo and \dalsegno) can
be added like a regular markup except instead of
having to worry about alignment, they always occur
right aligned at the end of the bar instead of in
relation to the note like say {a1\fermata}.
Also perhaps if you have some kind of simple numerical addition
example:
{ bes (aes) g\> f aes (g) f e | f4-.\! r r_\markup {\dalsegno 6 \fine 16} }
This would automatically mark up the text and print
the segno mark at bar 6 and the 'fine' text at the
end of bar 16. You could still use the _ or ^ signs if
you wanted above or below the stave.
Anyway, I think you get the idea.
