I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is a design flaw or user ignorance. Probably the latter because I just started using LP yesterday. But I haven't been able to find an example or explanation in the user guide to help me with this.
Here's my question: In the presence of "\repeat volta", how do I get the chord symbols placed properly on a lead sheet? The problem I'm having is that the chord symbols are placed above the lines that delineate the first and second endings. The chord symbols should be below those lines. Below is one example input file. The chords don't reflect the repeat properly, but that's immaterial and relatively easy for me to fix. The issue is the placement of the chord symbols above the lines that delineate first and second endings. As I said, this is probably user error. But lead sheets are a common thing and it seems like a documentation bug that there is no example and no discussion of how to do this. If anyone can show me the right way, I'll be very grateful!
