That looks to me more like that an Allegro section follows a Finale
section, which isn't what we want to imply.

Come to think of it, though, I wouldn't be upset if we decided to use
it before the Roman numeral, i.e. "Symphony No. 1, IV: Finale" ...Oh
wait, that still doesn't make the next character apparent. Sigh.
