I found an old song and it gives me to know that it has two endings—you get to choose which one. It's not like you repeat after the first and go to the second. You just choose either one and leave the other unplayed. Is there some standard way of doing this, by chance? I'm not sure what words to search the documentation for, if so. I'm guessing the way my music does it isn't standard. It uses a volta repeat with three alternates. The first is a real repeat. The next two are both labeled 2 (for the second alternate), and there is the markup 'eller' (that's 'or' in Swedish) above between the two volta brackets.
I think this situation is uncommon enough that there is no true standard way to print it. Therefore (in my opinion anyway), any method that is neatly laid out and is not confusing will be fine, including just the way it was already done. One other possible method would be to replace the "2." above the extra second ending with "Alternative ending". Or you could name them "Either" and "Or". -- David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
