Are you using something like*
\repeat volta 3 {
music
}
\alternative {
{ first ending }
{ second ending }
{ third ending }
}
* my templates are old and while they still work, they may not be best practice
for the most up-to-date iteration of Lilypond. Since my engraving needs are
limited to lead sheets for jazz combos, and because I really don't understand
the Lilypond programming language very well, I don't change it until it's
broken and I am forced to learn something new. :-p
