I'd like to eat some crow, as it seems I'm the lunatic in this thread for which I must apologize. :( I mis-characterized this issue based on a mis-recollection of a past experience I had, resulting in a doubly-compounded mistake. How embarrassing. My sincere apologies. My interest in this issue of implicit open-repeat bars could be addressed with an override ability for repeats beginning at the start of a piece or at a double bar. Like Werner, I too was unaware of the double-bar aspect of the rule for repeats. \score { \new Staff \relative f' { \repeat volta 2 { f1 f1 } f1 f1 \bar "||" \break % something akin to this, perhaps: \once \override Staff.RepeatBarExplicit = ##t \repeat volta 2 { f1 f1 } f1 f1 \bar "|." } } Perhaps this could be overridden only when needed, or set globally for a given context where it is wanted. I'll go back under my rock now. Jim _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
