Re: Repeat volta not at beginning of piece doesn't get initial repeat bar line

[John McWilliam]

Thanks Thomas for your input. I have applied your first alternative - the 

simpler one - to a four part piece. This is the classical length of a 

march in piping. The enclosed snippet illustrates the result. The end of 

the first part looses its repeat barline. I have tried introducing a \bar 

":|." at the end of the first part, however, this causes the repeat 

barline at the beginning of the second part to be supressed. Using manual 

commands instead of the \repeat volta format for the first part doesn't 

improve the situation. I feel that we are very close to a solution and 

would appreciate any suggestions you may be able to offer.

\version "2.18.0"

\defineBarLine ".|:-|." #'("|." ".|:" "|.") % needed to allow the

end-repeat)

        \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
