Hi Jean,
thanks for pointing that out. It looks like the functionality I need does
not exist in the previous versions of lilypond. And Ubuntu still only
provides 2.20. Hopefully I can build 2.22 by hand. best, Jim

Hello, I would like to have an alternative within a repeat block, as
described in the documentation,
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/long-repeats#other-variation-in-repeated-sections
under "Other variation in repeated sections". I don't need to work hard
to create a minimal (not)working example, since the one given right there
in the documentation gives me the same errors as in my full score:
\version "2.20.0"
\fixed c'' {
\repeat volta 2 {
R1
\alternative {
\volta 1 { c1 }
\volta 2 { d1 }
}
R1
}
}
The errors are:
error: syntax error, unexpected \alternative
\alternative {
error: not a note name: volta
volta 1 { c1 }
error: not a note name: volta
volta 2 { d1 }
error: errors found, ignoring music expression
\fixed c'' {

regards, Jim
You are using 2.23 syntax from the 2.23 documentation, but apparently using
an older version of LilyPond. To get the corresponding 2.22 documentation,
change "v2.23" to "v2.22" in the URL.
Sorry, not to "v2.22", but to "v2.20", since you have \version "2.20.0" in
your example.
It would be a good idea to upgrade to 2.22 though. That is the latest stable
version.
