I'd like to differentiate between two repeat voltas in a score by

2 different start and end bar types.
The following bar types are already defined in LilyPond:
Score.startRepeatBarType = #"[|:"
Score.endRepeatBarType = #":|]"
I'd like to define a second bar type with double opening and closing
parentheses, e.g.:
Score.startRepeatBarType = #"[[|:"
Score.endRepeatBarType = #":|]]"
How would that be acheived?
Hi there,
Maybe something like this:
\version "2.25.9"
\language "english"
\new Staff {
\defineBarLine "[[|:" #'( #t #t #t )
\defineBarLine ":|]]" #'( #t #t #t )
\new Voice {
\relative c' {
\set Score.startRepeatBarType = #"[|:"
\set Score.endRepeatBarType = #":|]"
c' d e f
\repeat volta 2 {
c d e f
}
c d e f
\set Score.startRepeatBarType = #"[[|:"
\set Score.endRepeatBarType = #":|]]"
\repeat volta 2 {
c d e f
}
}
}
}
which produces:

For details on how to define the new bar lines, see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/bar-lines
But basically the two \defineBarLine lines are what actually define
the bars lines to use, then later on you use them as desired. The
three bool values after define the behavior a beginning of line, mid
line, end end of line. Those will need adjusted to your needs.

Thank you, Michael, for the working example.
It seems that additional combinations of defineBarLine were added in
version 2.25.
I downloaded version 2.25.9 and found that adding break resulted in
inconsistent results using the defineBarLine with the
Score.startRepeatBarType and Score.endRepeatBarType.
For example simply adding a \break before changing the
Score.startRepeatBarType, i.e.:
c d e f
\break
\set Score.startRepeatBarType = #"[[|:"
results in the bar line at the end of the first line to include the new
start repeat bar type.
I've tried defining various combinatons of bar lines, as defined on the
documentation for 2.25.9, e.g.:
\defineBarLine "[[|:-StartDouble_fff" #'( #f #f #f )
\defineBarLine "[[|:-EndDouble_fff" #'( #f #f #f )
\defineBarLine "[[|:-StartDouble_ttf" #'( #t #t #f )
\defineBarLine "[[|:-EndDouble_ttf" #'( #t #t #f )
\defineBarLine "[[|:-StartDouble_ttt" #'( #t #t #t )
\defineBarLine "[[|:-EndDouble_ttt" #'( #t #t #t )
but cannot get the results that I'd like, especially when alternatives
are added to the repeat volta.
Any further suggestions?
