Hmm. It's not clear to me why lilypond can't handle this automatically: g f e d( \repeat { c d) e f( } \alternatives { { g) a b( a } { e) d c( d } { d) c d( e } } d c) d c I thought that Mike's patch is implementing exactly that... It seems that I've *completely* misunderstood the syntax we were talking about, so thanks for this detailed example. However, I still don't like \fake. Looking at your syntax about, the corresponding TeX name would be \phantom which I do now suggest.
