hello,

please always use tiny examples. help us helping you.

please read: http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html

I get volta brackets running Lilypond 2.12 on your example. Note that:

1) in your files, you never use the "\with { \consists "Volta_engraver" }"
section (or at least I can't find it), so the alternative brackets print
on top of the first staff as expected.

2) the version in your files is 2.10.10; if you are using this version of
Lilypond, please note that it is probably unsupported and you should
consider upgrading to the stable version 2.12.3 unless you have a really
good reason to stay in 2.10.

greetings,

Vicente
