Nor is English the standard language in the musical world. The only rubric I could imagine putting would be... volti subito. Correct, of course. But V.S. would work for me.

Re: [Finale] Rondeau layout
Write out the last A in full (as Couperin often did), with a final barline at the very end and regular double-bars everywhere else. Players will automatically assume that if they haven't encountered a final bar, the piece isn't over yet.

In other words, is there any conventional way to distinguish between the last Da Capo and the others?

That way all 3 pages can lie open on the stand. Conventional commercial usage.
