Somtimes I would like to have two bars at the start of a repeat, especially where there is a line break. In the sample below I get only a plain double bar at the start of the repeat. If I uncomment the line '\bar ".|:"' I get only the bar for starting the repeat, and if the previous bar is at the end of a line, for example uncommenting the "\break" line, I get no bar at the end of the line and the "start repeat" bar at the beginning of the next line. Is there any way to get what I want? Yours, -- Owen Dr O V Le Blanc
