Section divisions
The \section command marks a point where one section of
music ends and another begins. It does not have to be followed by
more music: it may also be used to emphasize that the written end
of the music is not the end of the piece, such as at a D.C.
instruction or where one movement continues into the next without
a break. \section normally creates a double bar line, but
its effect can depend on other notation, e.g., repeat bar lines.
The \fine command ends the piece, normally with a final bar
line. It is not limited to use at the written end of the music:
it may also appear inside \repeat (see section Al-fine repeats).
A section can optionally be named with \sectionLabel
(see section Section labels).
\fixed c' { f1 \section \sectionLabel "Refrain" g1 a1 \fine }

For details on interactions of \fine and \section
bar lines with other types of bar lines, and options for changing
their appearance, see section Automatic bar lines.
