Re:Problem with Codas

[Flaming Hakama by Elaine]

Basically, the coda should have some whitespace between it and the prior
section of music and should start looking like what you would expect
from the beginning of a new staff line, complete with clefs, key
signatures and time signatures and whatever other miscellaneous
decorations that come with multi-staff layouts. In all, fairly similar
to the image that Robert Murdock posted in "I Too Have Problems with
Codas". Also, it would be nice to have the coda/segno markings laid out
at the appropriate places too (including the top of the coda section),
but first things, first. :-)

I also write codas on a new line in this way.

You can do so by using another score.

Especially with this type of coda concept, you will probably want to be able to address all the usual things regarding the spacing and layout, bar numbering, markup, etc. that make the coda visually distinct from the rest of the score.  

These properties are all available if you use another score.  I'd want to suggest that any suggestion to simplify the repeat syntax includes consideration of how to allow specification for some of these properties.

HTH,
