Hi all,

I'm just starting with Lilypond, trying to print out some sheet music 
for a little group I play in. I'm struggling with a couple of issues I 
find no obvious solution for. If the answers are readily available, 
just tell me I didn't look hard enough and point me in the proper 
direction. If not, I'd appreciate some help... I've been spending 
already a lot of time on this...


- I have a "D.C al Coda", which happens to be on the last measure of a 
line. The text runs into the margin and is clipped. I'm not sure how 
one would typeset this: making it right-aligned? Or adding enough 
whitespace to the measure to the text fits? And how would one do that 
in Lilypond?

- I'm not sure how to keep the structure of the music (repeats, bar 
lines) separately from the notes. My attempt seems to work, but the 
markup of the structure (e.g. the measure numbers) are too close to the 
staff, and collides with the notes.

- Using the form S1*n \coda does not put the coda sign at the end of 
the nth measure, but right at the beginning. Bug?

I've included the 'master' file for your amusement - I am a beginner 
after all :-)

Cheers, and thanks!
Peter.
