Yes there is; see the documentation for Text marks and/or Rehearsal 
marks.  They're in chapter 8.

I hope you realize that you can define your own "symbols":

myFine={
\override RehearsalMark #'something = #blah
\override AnotherThing #'something-else = #foo
\mark "D.S. al Fine"
}

{ c'1 c1 \myFine }


This is a vague outline, but it should get you started.
