Update: as was pointed out earlier today, fiddling with an MWE often helps
solve the problem. In this case, here's what's going on: the \break
statements within an \alternative block are causing the counter to register
another ending, for some reason. If I delete both \break statements, then I
can have three \alternative blocks with a \repeat volta 3 statement, and
the time/key signatures reappear.
So, uh, thanks for the help?
Cheers,
A
