The Manual 3.1.4 seems to say that one can place [ . . .] anywhere to start
and end beams, but when I do this to a file that otherwise works, it chokes.

 

"However, the remaining bracket-like constructs, described with the word
'Marks' in the table above together with ties and tuplets, do not have to
nest properly with any of the brackets or bracket-like constructs. In fact,
these are not brackets in the sense that they enclose something - they are
simply markers to indicate where something starts and ends."

 

In my file, this works:

 

     \time 5/4

     \repeat volta 2 {

         \times 4/7 {<d'  a'>4.. 

         ^\markup {seven against five} a'8}

         \times 4/7 {d'8. a'4}

         \times 4/7 {d'16 a'4.. a'16}

         \times 4/7 {d'4 a'8.}

         \times 4/7 {d'8 a'4..}

 

This doesn't:

 

     \time 5/4

     \repeat volta 2 {

         \times 4/7 {<d'  a'>4.. 

         ^\markup {seven against five} a'8}]

         \times 4/7 {d'8. a'4}

         \times 4/7 {d'16 a'4.. a'16}

         \times 4/7 {d'4 a'8.}

         \times 4/7 {d'8 a'4..}
