+The @code{\inStaffSegno} command can be used to generate a composite
+bar line incorporating the segno symbol with the appropriate repeat
+bar line when used with the @code{\repeat volta} command. The
+correct type of repeat bar line, viz. start repeat, end repeat or
+double repeat, is selected automatically. Note that the
+corresponding @qq{D.S.} mark must be added manually.
+
+Away from a repeat:

+e1
+\inStaffSegno
+f2 g a b
+c1_"D.S." \bar "|."
+@end lilypond
-The @code{\inStaffSegno} command can be used to place the segno
-symbol in cooperation with the @code{\repeat volta} command.
-Alternative bar line symbols can be set in a Score context by
-overriding the properties @code{segnoType},
-@code{startRepeatSegnoType}, @code{endRepeatSegnoType} or
-@code{doubleRepeatSegnoType} as required.
+At the start of a repeat:
@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]

+ \inStaffSegno % start repeat
f2 g a b
}
