I like the idea of merging them into 8.2.3, although make sure that you 
include
@findex \segno
@findex \coda
etc

in the revised 8.2.3.

I would simply omit it.  It's unlikely that people would need to alter 
the defaults for \segno and whatnot -- you want them to be over 
everything else.  If thye do want to tweak it, they can either consult 
chapter 9, or remember about the tips in 6.6.1.

You could add a "These commands are impleneted as Script objects, just 
like @ref{Articulations}" sentence in the new docs, though.
