Subject: Overriding shifting of coda when \break is used?

By default Lilypond moves a coda placed at the end of a line to the beginning 
of the next line of \break is used.  I consider this bad behavior- the 
rehearsal marks should stay put where I place them rather than having that 
placement changed by the application (I have no idea why Lilypond is coded to 
do this in the first place; I'm sure someone had what they thought was a good 
reason but it's a nuisance when writing jazz lead sheets).

Is there a way to turn this off and get my coda marks to be where I want them?  
I couldn't find anything in the docs.

Try.

I also don't understand your point about your gripe that LilyPond puts them 
where you think they are to be. Musically a rehearsal mark indicates the 
*start* of a section not the end.

So when you break, the *start* of the section is exactly in the right place - 
i.e. the start of the next line.

The fact you are using a coda 'glyph' for your rehearsal mark is, as I say 
irrelevant there is no '\coda' fuction - it's a rehearsal mark which you are 
using a specified glyph (Unless I have misunderstood you). 

What LilyPond does with rehearsal marks is exactly what I want and I don't want 
to have to move them manually when she decides to break a line at the point the 
section starts.

Please let me know if I have misunderstood.
