Kenneth,

There is an example with an al coda repeat here:

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/long-repeats.html#segno-repeat-structure

The syntax is

\repeat segno 2 {
  <repeated part>
  \alternative {
    \volta 1 {
      <only first time; al coda is just before here>
    }
    \volta 2 \volta #'() {
      \section
      \sectionLabel Coda
    }
  }
  <coda part>
}

Attached is your file amended to use this syntax.

Best,
Jean
