hi,  
 
i'm typesetting a piano piece for a young composer, and he has a descrescendo in one repetition which should only be played the second time.
 
in his score, it's labelled "2. x: >" (see attached original-snippet.png). this is perfectly comprehensible for anybody who speaks german, i'm not sure if anyone else would understand it though… what would be the most international way of writing this? my current ideas are "2nd x:" or some abbreviation of "[solo] seconda volta" (probably \markup { \concat { "solo 2" \super "a" " x."}} ).
 
does anyone have any other suggestions?

Hm, difficult.

I'd suggest _not_ to use English except the score is specifically meant for such an international market.
If you have problems with German and don't find a language-agnostic solution I find Italian still the most appropriate language.

OTOH I wouldn't consider "2. x" a problem (but maybe that's because I _am_ German ...). But please use a lowercase x (as you wrote in your message, but different from the png).

And what about "2. *" ?
