Dear LilyPond users, Thank you for your advice. Some progress. \version "2.8.7"
\header { title = "Singin' In The Rain" composer = "Freed and Brown" meter = "Medium Swing"} melody = \transpose c d \relative c'' { \clef treble \key f \major \time 4/4 \set Score.skipBars = ##tt %line 1 R1*3 r2 r4 c \once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #1 \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.segno" } \bar "||" c'2~ \times 2/3 { c4 a8 } \times 2/3 ( g4 f8 } d2 r4 c % more notes % bar 27 starts the next line c2~ \times 2/3 ( c4 a8 } g4 d2 r4 c \times 2/3 ( c'4 c8~ } c4 r4 c,^"To Coda" \times 2/3 { e4 e8~ } e8.~ a16~ a4 \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" } c, %more notes % bar 53 starts the next line bes2 aes4 ges ges aes2 bes4 bes f f f~ f2. f4 f2 ees4 des4 des ees2 f4 aes f \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( -1.0 . 2.5 ) aes\mark "D.S. al Coda " c~ c2. c,4 \bar "||" \break f2. \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" CODA } f1~ r4 R!*2 r1^\fermataMarkup \bar ".|." } \score { \new Staff \melody \layout {} \midi {} } Score.SeparationItem moves the note after the segno along a bit, avoiding the collision. However, the coda signs and texts are very untidy. The extra.offset doesn't seem to have any effect. Yours, Frederick Dennis.
