-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.

+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:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
+e1
+\inStaffSegno
+f2 g a b
+c1_"D.S." \bar "|."
+@end lilypond
+
+At the start of a repeat:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
+e1
+\repeat volta 2 {
+ \inStaffSegno % start repeat
+ f2 g a b
+}
+c1_"D.S." \bar "|."
+@end lilypond
+
+At the end of a repeat:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
+e1
+\repeat volta 2 {
+ f2 g a b
+ \inStaffSegno % end repeat
+}
+f2 g a b
+c1_"D.S." \bar "|."
+@end lilypond
+
+Between two repeats:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=1]
+e1
+\repeat volta 2 {
+ f2 g a b
+}
+\inStaffSegno % double repeat
+\repeat volta 2 {
+ f2 g a b
+}
+c1_"D.S." \bar "|."
+@end lilypond
+
+Alternative bar line symbols can be obtained by setting (in the Score
+context) the properties @code{segnoType}, @code{startRepeatSegnoType},
+@code{endRepeatSegnoType} or @code{doubleRepeatSegnoType} to the
+required bar line type. The alternative bar line types must be
+selected from the pre-defined types or types previously defined
+with the @code{\defineBarLine} command (see @ref{Bar lines}).
