Tobias: My understanding, which is certainly limited, is that Lilypond reads the first alternate ending and sees only three beats and assumes that the second alternate starts (read not played) with the fourth beat. Again a case when a human performer is smarter than a computer! So we have to tell Lily that the second alternative starts on the first of four (that's where the 1/4 comes in) beats.

But the docs tell me to use measureLength in some way. Is using measurePosition, as you suggested, just another way of doing the same thing? Or is my situation that much different from the docs so that a different property has to be modified?
