I tried using this to explicitly number the alternatives but it messed
up the score.  I can't do it exactly as shown because I have created
includes that hide that part of the code.  In any case it seems really
complex. Am I wrong in thinking that it should display the current
alternative and not just the one after the last printed one?  

  \mark \markup \italic "repeat 4 times"
  \repeat volta 4 {
    \BassVerseA
  }
  \alternative {
    { } % #1 empty so nothing prints
    { \BassBridge } % prints #1
    { } % this is #3 but it does not print
    { \BassVerseB } % prints #3
  }

The one that prints #3 should print #4.  It would almost make sense if
it printed #2 if it wasn't counting the empties but printing #3
suggests that it is counting them ultimately.
