RE: Choice of ending?

[James Lowe]

Hello,

I think the term you are looking for is 'ossia' (at least that is how it seems 
to be in many of my Baroque Trumpet books).

As to how it is engraved, well my references show it as above/below the bar 
that it can replace or right at the end of the peice as a 'mini score' with 
instructions indicating which bar it can replace.

James

Subject: Choice of ending?
 

I found an old song and it gives me to know that it has two endings-you get
to choose which one. It's not like you repeat after the first and go to the
second. You just choose either one and leave the other unplayed.

Is there some standard way of doing this, by chance? I'm not sure what words
to search the documentation for, if so. I'm guessing the way my music does
it isn't standard. It uses a volta repeat with three alternates. The first
is a real repeat. The next two are both labeled 2 (for the second
alternate), and there is the markup 'eller' (that's 'or' in Swedish) above
between the two volta brackets.

For the curious, this is printed in an 1896 Swedish hymnal (no. 36 out of
245) entitled Jubelklangen. I've recently started putting LilyPond sheet
music for these up on hymnwiki.org (207 hymns left to go).
