I've just applied Kieren's suggestion, which has fixed the text stacking 
vertically, so that's one problem down. That leaves fixing the coda 
colliding with the repeat spanner, and justifying the "Take 2nd on D.S." 
text. That last is actually also a perfect example of empty chords not 
going where they should, in that lily appears to have moved it from the 
end of the volta to the start of the alternative. Okay, musically they 
are the same, but visually they're very different ...

Then I feel a bit cheeky with the last bits wrong, in that I haven't 
really tried to fix them myself yet, namely getting the DS al Coda at 
the bottom to look right, and moving the Extended Cadenza text down to 
go in the blank space between the staves. I know there's a way of 
telling it to "go on the B line", but I haven't investigated. If you 
know the answer, that would be great but really I know I should look for 
it myself.

Cheers,
Anthony
