Re: Voltas and polyphony

[James E. Bailey]

everything within the volta brackets will be before the repeat. If you want section 2 to be after the repeat, then it needs to come after the repeat. i.e., \repeat volta 2 { section 1 } \repeat volta 2 { section 2 }

Nuts.  I just realized I entered my example wrong.  This is how it should look:
 
\repeat volta 2 {
<< {notes in section 1} \\ {notes in section 1} >>
<< {notes in section 2} \\ {notes in section 2} >>
}
 
Alternative endings are not in my example, but I have used them.  In any case, should the repeat work over those two "sections" or should the repeated music be in one "section"?

I seem to be having trouble making a repeat work over more than one polyphonic section.  For example:
 
\repeat volta 2 {
 
<< notes in section 1 >> \\
<< notes in section 1 >>
 
<< notes in section 2 >> \\
<< notes in section 2 >>
 
}
 
This won't work.  I have to put all of the repeated measures within a single section.  Is this correct?

What are you looking to do? This works fine:

{

   \repeat volta 2 {

      << { c'4 b a b }\\{ g2 f } >>

      a8 b c' d' e' d' c' b

   }

   \alternative {

      { << { d' c' b2 }\\{ a2 f } >> }

      { << { d'2 c' }\\{ a4 b c'2 } >> }

   }

}
