Wait a minute. A D.C. or D.S. may well not be at the end of
a piece, but it still is at the end of a measure and/or line:

      ||
     :||:
      ||
   D.C.


 ||
:|| D.C.
 ||



and not
at the beginning of the next measure or line.
Some marks should be right aligned to a bar or double bar
or repeat sign. Some should be left aligned. Some should be
centered.
