NR 1.4.1 Segno repeat appearance

How can I get only "D.S. al Coda" without a segno after the "D.S."? 

This question seems similar to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2022-11/msg00203.html.

You can use a custom dalSegnoTextFormatter to set the text to whatever you want, e.g.,

\version "2.24.1"

\fixed c' {
  f1
  \repeat segno 2 {
    g1
    \alternative {
      \volta 1 { a1 }
      \volta 2 \volta #'() {
        \once \set Score.dalSegnoTextFormatter =
          #(lambda _
             #{ \markup \right-column { "D.S." "al Coda" } #})
        \section
        \sectionLabel "Coda"
      }
    }
  }
  b1
  \fine
}

D.S. followed by a segno sign is actually redundant since the S. stands
for segno.

“Segno“ means “sign”. “Dal segno 𝄋” is not redundant, it just means “go back to the sign 𝄋”. “Dal segno” means “go back to the sign”, where which sign is being referred to is left implicit.
