I thought of that, but I thought that maintaining the regularity of the first 
and second alternatives was an asset.

A friend of mine submitted this score to me as a manuscript, and it lacks a 
first coda sign to send the singers to the second one. 
I’m waiting for the director’s answer about this.  Probably the coda will be 
noted as a third, final alternative.
