`\after` works but it’s a kluge, and there’s a funny interaction with 
grace notes that puts the section label more to the right than I was 
initially expecting.  Given the time-travel involved with grace notes 
this behavior makes sense, and since this is identifying a section the 
oddity is not (to me, anyway) worth “fixing”.

\version "2.23.6"

musicA = { b'1 }

musicB = {
  \after 16 \sectionLabel "klugy label"
  \repeat segno 2 {
    d''1
    \volta 2 \fine
    e''
  }
}

musicC = {
  \after 16 \sectionLabel "shifted label"
  \repeat segno 2 {
    \acciaccatura c''8 d''1
    \volta 2 \fine
    e''
  }
}

\score {
  { \musicA \musicB }
}
\score {
  { \musicA \musicC }
}

That turns out to be simple: moving the `\sectionLabel "brokenlabel"` 
within the `\repeat segno` block gave the segno priority, and that’s how 
my code was actually written.
