Hi,
As part of an on-going project to convert all of the tunes that
I play regularly to Lilypond I'm trying to typeset a song with
the structure:
verse - chorus
verse
verse - chorus
verse
verse - chorus
This particular tune started in MuseScore and was exported
as XML. The export/import did not go well, though I'd suggest
that the problem was more likely to have been the export
rather than the import. This is a complex structure, in any case.
I'm getting close to the score that I want, but there's still a repeat
bar showing up where I don't want it.
I've done my best to reduce it to basics, while giving the flavour
of what I'm trying to achieve.
The repeat before the 2,4 ending is the problem.
I feel like I've got really close, BUT.....
If I could reduce the vertical spacing in the note
"Can modulate ..... verse 5" that would be a bonus.
Thanks for your help
