    Nope. From my experience I would say she says everytime something
    different:
    - from 3 measures before rehearsal mark B
    - from the lyric measure
    - second repeat, please
    - proabaly from a specific bar number

Back to the original issue:
1) Do you think the last bar number should be 3, 4 or 5? The logical for me seems to be 3 (yes, 2 bars will have bar number 2), or 5 (thinking it as unfolded, but then bar number 1 and 3 will point to the same measure, but bar number 3 means goto 2. alternative) \repeat volta 2 { c4 d e f | } \alternative { { c2 e | } { f2 g | } } c1
For what I know, there are two basic conventions here: one is used in Lilypond, see <lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/long-repeats> -> Selected snippets -> Alternative bar numbering. This will count three measures in your example. The other one – which I personally prefer – counts the measures as they are actually played: for your example, the written measures would be numbered 1 (3) and 2 and 4 and 5. Unfortunately, this is not yet really supported in Lilypond. Counting four measures in your examples is not an option, it would be illogical and confusing IMO.

Yours, Simon
