Re: Repeat question

[Jacques Menu Muzhic]

Thanks Torsten!

For completeness, here is the MusicXML data.

It’s interesting to observe that MusicXML import is not done the same way by different tools, hence my post.

Hello Jacques,

Without knowing the original MusicXML file, the LilyPond solution looks much
more like a standard volta repeat with alternatives than the
Finale/Musescore output.

In any case, nested or not, a repeat barline will have to be set between
adjacent volta brackets.
Finale/Musescore misses out this repeat barline between the two volta
brackets, whereas LilyPond's output is correct.

Apart from that, these nested repeats can be confusing for several reasons
and there may be better alternatives. But, in the end, this about faithful
MusicXML representation and I'd say LilyPond wins this time.

HTH,
Torsten
