I've attached a peculiar little example to illustrate a problem
I am having with Volta using Alternative endings.
Instead of using a regular chordname context to display my chords,
I am creating a new voice consisting entirely of spaces and text
markups. The text markups contain both the fret diagrams and chordnames
(with and without capo). In addition to this voice, which I label
"fret", I am also defining a vocal voice, segmented into different
sections of the song.
The song (An abridge version of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
contains a volta repeat with alternative endings. In this case,
my volta bracket appears below my "chords".
How do I move the volta above my "chords" while retaining the peculiar
structure I've set up to display my chords/fret diagrams? Is this
a case where I should be defining a new context for my chords/frets?
I am using lilypond 11.
Thanks in advance,
Jack
