Joe,
My sense is that you want. A 1st ending A 2nd ending B A 3rd ending as the end of the piece. This would be accomplished with a “Da Capo al fine” at the end of the third A. The 3rd ending would be noted as “fine.” Mark From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr....@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Joe Davenport Sent: Friday, November 24, 2017 12:14 PM To: lilypond-user Mailinglist <lilypond-user@gnu.org> Subject: Volta Alternatives (music theory) Hello, Another basic question to fill the vaults... I like to work with alternative endings for repeats, i.e. \repeat volta 2 \alternative { } where alternative is two endings matched with the repeat number (i'll explain why): \alternatives { {do re do me do } { mi re do } } I want "volta 2," repeats because it works and the third repetition does not occur until the ENTIRE score has been read- all the way through. My thinking is to engrave it as something like this: C: .. . . . .. . |__1___| |___2,5___| My theory isn't what it could be. Do I need a dal signo? My thinking is that I do, at the end, with a coda at the starting point and a sign on the ending I wish to repeat! Hopefully this was easy to read. I'm trying to emulate a simplicity to music and thought I'd share this to hear something on a technical level. Thank you. -- Joseph Davenport
