Hi all,

I have two problems with endings of volta repeats:

1) I have a volta repeat with an alternative ending, like this:

\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#t #t #t)
\repeat volta 2 { r4 f r f }
\alternative { { r f r f } {  r f r a, } }
d a d a

The two endings should have the same bar (=measure) number. But lilypond increments the bar number of the second ending by 1. This is pretty annoying, as I need to manually set the bar number, like this:

\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#t #t #t)
\repeat volta 2 { r4 f r f }
\alternative { { r f r f } {
\set Score.currentBarNumber = #2
r f r a, } }
d a d a

Is there a setting or something to do this automatically? Why isn't it done by default anyway? (btw: the override command is just used to demonstrate the problem, I only need the measure numbers at the beginning of each line.)

This has been discussed here before. This is the way LilyPond works. Lily's way is consistent with many printed scores even though your way is sometimes done.
