You have things like this:

rh = {
  \global
  \clef treble
  \rh_i
  \repeat segno 2 {
    \rh_ii
  } 
  \alternative {
    \volta 1 {
      \rh_iii
    }
    \volta 2 \volta #'() {
      \section
      \sectionLabel "Coda"
    }
    \rh_iv
  } \fine
}

Each element of the \alternative block is an alternative. Therefore, you
have three alternatives: \volta 1 { ... }, \volta 2 { ... }, and \rh_iv.
For a \repeat segno **2**, that is illogical.

Instead, you should put \rh_iv outside of the \alternative block.

Best,
