If there is no good way around this, then I would say it's very high up on
my wish list to create a better way of creating that kinds of texts. It's not
uncommon for me to see a piece with both a da capo (or dal segno) text, a
"Fine" text (of the same kind), and a few marks. As usual, I would be glad to
help coding _if I just had the time_ (but I don't :-( ). But I think it would
be a great thing just to mention in the documentation how one can create a
good da capo-style text.
I think that what I really would need in my case is something like the
ability to create a text script aligned to a bar instead of a note. It is
possible to do this through the following hack (which achieves exactly what I
want), but it is just not clean:
global = \notes {
s1*2 \mark "B"
s1
\property Staff.TextScript \set #'self-alignment-X = #1
s2...
s16_"Da Capo"
\bar "|."
}
\score {
\notes \transpose c'' <
\context Staff = sa < \global { c1 c c c } >
\context Staff = sb < \global { g g g g } >

\paper { }
}

BTW, there is a docu typo:
font-relative-size (number):
partial font definition: the relative size compared the `normal' size.
0 is style-sheet's normal size, -1 is smaller, +1 is bigger, -1 is smaller.
I guess you only need to say "-1 is smaller" once :-)
