Absolutely. Earlier in the thread I wrote: "However, my partial solution fails to close the 2nd alternative's volta bracket, and I don't see any way of doing so. Perhaps someone more expert could help there with some sort of tweak." > \version "2.19.25" > { > > a'8 b' c' e' c'2 > a'4 b' > \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1")) > d'4 g' > \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f)) > \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "2")) > \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -1/2) d'8 e' f' g' > \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f)) > d''4 c'' b' a' > %5 > a' b' c'' d'' \bar ":|."} > > > and it gives a warning which I don't understand. Presumably the same as mine: "warning: cannot end volta spanner"? I will admit that I didn't bother to look at the Score.repeatCommands at all. All I did was add two Timing.measureLength lines and rewrite the last bar, where Stan's semibreve didn't clearly reveal where LP was putting the beats. > OTOH the > end-of-second-time marker wouldn't serve any particular purpose - the > player doesn't do anything special at that point. It's not a case of what the player does. The end-of-second-time marker's mandatory purpose is to define the precise point where the so-called "fixed part 2" starts. Because of its importance, it has to be properly marked with a vertical line matching the one at the start of the bracket. This contrasts with a normal repeat having two endings, where the 2nd volta bracket effectively peters out in mid-air because it has little or no significance. Its length in this case is just a matter of style.
