\version "2.23.12" \layout { \context { \Score \remove Volta_engraver \remove Staff_collecting_engraver } \context { \Staff \consists Volta_engraver \consists Staff_collecting_engraver } }
{ \repeat volta 2 { c'1 << \alternative { \volta 1 c'1 } \new Staff { \alternative { \volta 2 c'1 } } >> } c'1 } The example above shows that \alternative sometimes keeps staves alive longer than they should be. I understand that this can look like a contrived use case; if you want the context, look at the first image on https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user-fr/2022-07/msg00060.html Should I create this as a Defect ticket, or should I not have recommended this syntax in the first place? Thanks, Jean
