I'd do it as

\relative c' {
  \partial 8 d8
  \repeat volta 2 { d4 d8 d }
  \alternative { { d4. d8 } { d2 } }
  d8 d8 d8 d8 d2
}

Dear Mats,

thanks, this is perfect. One time more amazed with the doc. I would
not have searched this in the doc.

The point is the common rythm of spanish Señor ten piedad (Kyrie)
Cristo ten piedad etc
Señor needs (better said: is generally solved with) an upbeat and is
repeated, Cristo needs a downbeat and is repeated, then again Señor
etc
Generally the composers write the repeats, but in this case I have to
write it with \repeat volta 2

Anyway this is solved,

Franck

As has already been pointed out, the notation in your example doesn't really
make sense, rhythmically. In particular, the second alternative would
provide the second half of the bar starting before the first alternative, so
the bar lines after the second repeat seem half a bar off, to me. Anyway, if
you just want to avoid the space provided by s8, you could read about
scaling durations at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms#scaling-durations.
The resulting example would then be
\relative c' {
\partial 8
\repeat volta 2 { d8 d4 d8 d }
\alternative { { d4.*4/3 } { d2 } }
d8 d8 d8 d8 d2
}

Hello,

I want to see exactly what shows this minimal example, except that the
"space" is not desired.
This is from an hymn melody and I do the SATB setting. So I would like
to have the original "optic". And with so short repeats, it doesnt
make sense to enlarge the alternative.
Now, without the s8, the half-note of alternative 2. begins in the
remaining half-beat and so the rest of the song.
Thats why.
Thanks in advance

I don't understand.  What's the problem with removing the s8?  I'm using
2.19.15, 2.18.2, and 2.16.2.

repeat, alternative, partial and full bar

2015-01-25 Thread Ali Cuota
Hello,

I wonder how to codify correctly this minimal example:

\relative c' {
\partial 8
\repeat volta 2 { d8 d4 d8 d }
\alternative { { d4. s8 } { d2 } }
d8 d8 d8 d8 d2
}

the s8 is here to fullfill the bar, but take some space and should
not. Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance!

Franck
