Re: First Measure bar

[VSD]

I have the same problem. I don't know if lilypond can do that, but I use  
the following cheap trick:


{
    \time 4/4

    \partial 128 s128 % create an empty tiny partial measure before the  
repeat

    \repeat volta 2
    {
        c''2
        c''
    }
}

which works form me. I'd recommend you to use raggedright=##t in the  
layout for a single bar score though.
