Thank you Magnus, for your reply. Your new structure certainly clears
all of the warnings.
I removed the "\break" before the color change and it proved your theory
that "lilypond considers them to be the same barline" is correct.
I read somewhere that any repeat should start on a new line if possible,
so I would like to ask others if this feature could be changed by
specifying that a bar line before a "\break" can somehow be left in the
default color.
For anyone interested, the full MWE is now:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.24.0"
ColorRepeatBegSpecialBar = {
\once \override Score.BarLine.color = #(x11-color 'orange)
\once \set Score.startRepeatBarType = #"[|:"
}
ColorRepeatEndSpecialBar = {
\once \override Score.BarLine.color = #(x11-color 'orange)
\once \set Score.endRepeatBarType = #":|]"
}
Music = {
b'1
\break % to show colored bar line
\ColorRepeatBegSpecialBar
\repeat volta 2 {
c''1 |
\alternative {
\volta 1 {
d''1 |
\ColorRepeatEndSpecialBar
} % END volta 1
\volta 2 {
e''1 |
} % END volta 2
} % END alternative
} % END repeat volta 2
} % END Music
\score {
\new Staff { \Music }
}
