Why would you use \vcenter?  You don't _want_ the reference point to
move to the center.

Mmmh, I'm always confused about what is the reference point...

I can use \translate or \general-align instead:

\markup {

  Dal \translate #'(1 . 1) \musicglyph #"scripts.segno"

  al \translate #'(1 . 1) \musicglyph #"scripts.coda"

  poi segue

}

\markup {

  Dal \general-align #Y #-.5 \musicglyph #"scripts.segno"

  al \general-align #Y #-.5 \musicglyph #"scripts.coda"

  poi segue

}
