I'm confused.  Why would you want a repeat bar at the very beginning of a
piece?  In this case it should only go at the end.  See here:

>From LilyPond documentation:
"volta
The repeated music is not written out but enclosed between repeat bar lines.
If the repeat is at the beginning of a piece, a repeat bar line is only
printed at the end of the repeat. Alternative endings (volte) are printed
left to right with brackets. This is the standard notation for repeats with
alternatives."
