Section 1.4 of the Notation Manual says about volta repeats: volta The repeated music is not written out but enclosed between repeat bar lines. If the repeat is at the beginning of a piece, a repeat bar line is only printed at the end of the repeat.
But the following snippet does not generate the initial repeat bar line, apparently because of the "||" bar line. But the "||" bar line does not indicate the end of a piece. I have tried several things to get the inital repeat bar line to appear without success. I suspect it's not very difficult. Can anyone please tell me how to do it? And if I'm correct about the problem being caused by the "||" bar line, the documentation should probably be changed. \version "2.18.2" music = \relative b' { a1 a a a \bar "||" \break \repeat volta 2 { a4 b c d } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
