My own take on it is that \alternative syntax is an abomination and it
should likely be more like
\repeat volta 40 {
...
\alternative { ... }
\alternative { ... }
\alternative { ... }
}
since that would avoid several syntactical problems and would allow to
produce alternatives by music functions.
So if we are going to start phantasizing, that would be an approach I'd
prefer to start out from.
