Tell me about it. But it's what I need to do.

The system of repeats, endings, etc. was developed because it was needed. It's still needed, for the same reasons. Accordingly, the terms have become standardized. What is the justification for departing from it?

What you do when you're working on your own is your affair. Make up whatever terminology you like. When working with other musicians, who are favoring you with their time and effort, you have no right to expect them to learn your terminology. They have the right to expect you to learn theirs.

Same with software.
