I am working on an arrangement of a James Taylor song. It really does
not lend itself to a straightforward repeat structure since there is a
fair amount of bouncing around from chorus to verse. It needs a
combination of volta repeat and D.S al Segno\coda type of arrangement.
After quite a bit of struggle I have not gotten anything to really work
well using the built in repeat structures. The only thing I have really
gotten to work is to just use manual repeats combined with markup for
the segno markers. I have this 95% working but am having a problem with
line breaks. Below are stripped down examples of the problem I'm having.
First is what is working from a basic flow point of view. Both code and
screen shot.
After that is what I was hoping to get to work using /break and a screen
shot. But the \break is causing the start-repeat to be ignored (or hidden?).
