Ah! I'm almost there. I was using a model from an example in the documentation.
I made a couple changes and this:
\version "2.24.4"
\score {
\relative {
\set Score.finalFineTextVisibility = ##t
\repeat volta 3 {
s1
\alternative {
\volta 1 { s1 }
\volta 2 { s1 \bar "||" }
\volta 3 { s1 \bar "|." }
}
}
s1
\bar "||"
}
}
...does nearly everything I'm after. I just need to change the 3rd ending to
'Fine.'
Thanks,
David
