Re: "dal segno" several times
Thanks for the answers,
by the way, the song I told you about was just an example. It could be more
complicated.
Another example.
Say I'm writing a modal composition, where the bass part is made of 4 "drones"
of a single bar, each repeated 32 times. Something like:
firstDrone = { c4 d e f }
secondDrone = { d2 r2 }
thirdDrone = { c4 r c r }
fourthDrone = { c1 }
mainBassPart =
{
\repeat volta 32 { \firstDrone \mark "x32" }
\repeat volta 32 { \secondDrone\mark"x32" }
\repeat volta 32 { \thirdDrone\mark"x32" }
\repeat volta 32 { \fourthDrone\mark"x32" }
}
Now the song repeats 4 times all the mainBassPart (well, yeah, I surely suck at
composing).
Unfolding the "repeat volta" as you suggested and put just the x4 main repeats
will create a not-very-practical 128 measures sheet .
Having a "D.S. x4" (or what else can be used) will create a score that can be
far more easy to read.

I would still give the same advice: Don't write
(Intro)
/Segno/
|: 4-bar verse :|
|: 4-bar chorus :| "D.S. 7 times" (or 20)
(Outro)
but instead write:
(Intro)
|: 8-bar verse |
| 8-bar chorus :| "play 7 times" (or 20)
(Outro)
The OP didn't mention lyrics, but sure, if there are some,
stack the stanzas up 7 or 20 deep under the melody staff. Or
perhaps if there are that many stanzas, list them at the end
of the music, as per
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/stanzas#printing-stanzas-at-the-end
Then the performer should see pretty clearly how many times to
play the verse-chorus pair.

What would you do if you had seven verses? Or twenty? Indicate what is verse and what is chorus, and with two or three lines of lyrics underneath the music, repeat signs are not necessary at all.

If the verse and the chorus are so brief, I would not engrave
repeat bar lines around the four-bar repeated sections, only the
outer "3x" repeat that wraps the entire 16-bar verse-chorus
section.
If you wish, you could use 'repeat unfold' in your code:
myVerse = \relative f {
% four bars, engraved twice:
\repeat unfold 2 {
a1 b1 c1 b1
}
} % myVerse
myChorus = \relative f {
% four bars, engraved twice:
\repeat unfold 2 {
c1 a1 b1 a1
}
} % myChorus
threeTimes = \repeat 3 {
\myVerse
\myChorus
}

"dal segno" several times
Hi everyone, this is more a generic music notation question than a LilyPond related. By the way, I will ask it here so I can get a LilyPond related solution if needed, too. I have a simple song, where the verse is 4 measures repeated twice, and the chorus again 4 measures repeated twice. The song is like this: intro verse chorus verse chorus verse chorus outro I can print all the section as stated above, but it will be easier to have something like this intro ||: verse chorus :|| x3 times outro If the verse and the chorus don't have repeats themself, one can use a simple repeat. Since they have repeats, I can't use "nested repeat", can I? My idea is to use a "D.S. 3 times" (probably with a "take all repeats"), or similar, but I'm not sure it is the correct way. Of course, in this example, I can remove the single section repeat (so verse becomes 8 measures, same for chorus) and use a simple repeat to get the result. By the way, I'm looking for a generic scenario solution. Thanks!___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
