When I compile the ly file, I get a spurious partial in the 2nd alternative of the 2nd part. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.18.2" % automatically converted by musicxml2ly from test.xml \header { source = "https://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/FARG_FAY.htm Paul O'Shaughnessy" encoder = "abc2xml version 226" encodingdate = "2021-02-16" composer = "Father Patrick Joseph Kelly" title = "Lough Derg Jig" } %\override Staff.BarLine.stencil = ##f lough_derg_jig = \relative d' { \tempo 4 = 120 \repeat volta 2 { \key g \major \time 6/8 %%| % 1 \partial 8*1 d8 %!*5 %%| % 3 g8 [ fis8 g8 ] b8 [ a8 g8 ] %%| % 4 fis4 g8 a8 [ fis8 d8 ] %%| % 5 g8 [ fis8 g8 ] b8 [ a8 g8 ] %%| % 6 b8 [ d8 b8 ] c8 [ a8 fis8 ] %%| % 7 g4 c8 b8 [ a8 g8 ] %%| % 8 fis4. a8 [ fis8 d8 ] %%| % 9 d'8 [ cis8 d8 ] fis8 [ e8 d8 ] %%| \barNumberCheck #10 c8 [ a8 fis8 ] g4 } \break \repeat volta 2 { \partial 8*1 a8 %!*5 %%| % 13 b4 d8 g8 [ d8 b8 ] %%| % 14 d8 [ g8 b,8 ] d8 [ g8 b,8 ] %%| % 15 c4 e8 g8 [ e8 c8 ] %%| % 16 e8 [ g8 c,8 ] e8 [ g8 e8 ] %%| % 17 d4 fis8 a8 [ fis8 d8 ] %%| % 18 fis8 [ a8 d,8 ] fis8 [ a8 d,8 ] } \alternative { {g8 [ fis8 g8 ] e8 [ fis8 g8 ] \barNumberCheck #20 a8 [ fis8 d8 ] c8 [ b8 ] } {d8 cis8 d8 fis8 [ e8 d8 ] c8 [ a8 fis8 ] g4 } } \break \repeat volta 2 { \partial 8*1 c8 b4. b8 g e fis4 g8 a fis e } \alternative { {b' d b g a g b d b c a fis} {d' cis d fis e d c a fis g4} } } % The score definition lough_derg_jig_chords = \chordmode { \set noChordSymbol = "" } lough_derg_jig_final = { << \new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t \lough_derg_jig_chords } \new Voice = "one" { \lough_derg_jig} >> } \score { \lough_derg_jig_final \header { piece = "lough_derg_jig" } \layout { indent = #0 line-width = #180 ragged-last = ##t } } \score { \unfoldRepeats { \lough_derg_jig_final \lough_derg_jig_final \lough_derg_jig_final } \midi{} } \markup{filename: lough.derg.jig.ly <http://lough.derg.jig.ly> } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I have produced the ly file by: python abc2xml.py file.abc > test.xml musicxml2ly test.xml" abcm2ps test.abc works fine.
