voltaOnThisStaff is documented as follows in the IR: Normally, volta brackets are put only on the topmost staff. This variable overrides this behavior, when set to #t or #f.
However, taking a snippet from LSR and trying out various combinations, always gives the same result: the volta bracket is printed above the top staff (incl. the ChordNames). \score { << \new ChordNames \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##f } \chordmode { c1 c } \new Staff \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##t } { \repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' } } >> } \score { << \new Staff \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##f } { \repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' } } \new Staff \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##t } { c'2 g' e' a' } >> } \score { << \new ChordNames \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##t } \chordmode { c1 c } \new Staff \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##t } { \repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' } } \new Staff \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##t } { c'2 g' e' a' } >> } \score { << \new ChordNames \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##f } \chordmode { c1 c } \new Staff \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##f } { \repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' } } \new Staff \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##t } { c'2 g' e' a' } >> } -- It's easier to be terrified by an enemy you admire. -- THUFIR HAWAT, Mentat and Security Commander to House Atreides _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
