Thanks. That looks great EXCEPT I can't get it to work for me :-( I run 
your example, and it's bang on. I try to do the same in my part, and it 
don't work :-(

You've got a rehearsal mark, followed by a right-aligned text markup. I 
copy your right-aligned markup syntax, and it just doesn't work for me 
:-( I can't copy your example exactly, unfortunately, because you start 
with a rehearsal mark and I start with markup - I can't convert the 
markup to a mark because I've already got a mark there ...

  s2*8 \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.segno" }
  \repeat volta 2 {
    <>^\markup { "Allegretto con Moto"} s2*7
    \override Score.TextScript.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
    \textLengthOn
    <>^"Take 2nd on D.S."
  } \alternative { { s2 } { s2 } }

As you can see, unless I'm going blind or something, I've copied your 
syntax for right-aligned markup exactly (I copy-n-pasted it). So why the 
devil isn't it working :-( because "Take 2nd" is still in the first time 
bar :-(
