In the example located here: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.3/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Repeat-syntax.html
for repeats with a partial bar and alternative endings there is the following example: \context Staff { \partial 4 \repeat volta 4 { e | c2 d2 | e2 f2 | } \alternative { { g4 g g } { a | a a a a | b2. } } } Since, in this case, all alternatives should start on the first beat; shouldn't the "4th." repeat actually be a complete bar rather than an up-beat and a complete bar? To get what I think is correct on the printed page, I entered: \context Staff { \partial 4 \repeat volta 4 { e | c2 d2 | e2 f2 | } \alternative { { g4 g g } { \partial 1 a a a a | b2. }} } I think that this should be done automatically? i.e. I shouldn't have to use a "\partial 1": \context Staff { \partial 4 \repeat volta 4 { e | c2 d2 | e2 f2 | } \alternative { { g4 g g } { a a a a | b2. }} } Repeats with partial bars and without alternative endings work as expected: \context Staff { \partial 4 \repeat volta 4 { e | c2 d2 | e2 f2 | g4 g g } a | a a a a | b2. } ...keith -- Keith White, EITI/SITE, University of Ottawa [EMAIL PROTECTED] [+1 613 562 5800 x6681] FAX [+1 613 562 5664] _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
