This is not necessarily peculiar to latin/salsa, it is rather prevalent in popular music of many idioms. This may not be the cleanest way to do it, but I generally use something like this, when I need something like what you're referring to: \version "2.18.2" \score { { \repeat unfold 12 { c'4 } \bar "||" \stopStaff s1 _\markup "Your D.S. markup here" \once \override Score.BarLine.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible \break \startStaff % Your coda goes here: \repeat unfold 12 d'4 d'1 \bar "|." } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
