Agreed! It's very rare to insert textual indications between
the notes within a measure (where, on the other hand, it's
not uncommon to attach textual indications to a specific
note, i.e. using a text script). You might want to replace
"colla parte" with "Coda", but again it's very hard to illustrate
the usefulness of using \mark for textual indications if you're
not allowed to change the alignment to #LEFT or #RIGHT.
I'm not convinced that it's less confusing to avoid the use of
\override and instead provide more or less irrelevant examples
of useful features.
