I'm not adding anything to the solution from Toine, but I wanted to say that you are not the first person to make this mistake. Todd Hesla had the exact same problem back in January this year, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-01/msg00975.html In the following discussion it became clear that Todd had followed this documentation: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics#lyrics-and-repeats which is not surprising because the section is entitled "Lyrics and Repeats". Phil Holmes clarified things in that thread, quoting Phil: From my reading of the NR, it's only _necessary_ to add the parallel "repeat" construct where you want to use \unfoldRepeats and have the lyrics repeated. As Colin says, I've never done this. There is a tracker for a design change to take care of this here: http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3149 but I'm not sure that's the best course. I can't help thinking that it would be better to just make the docs clearer as this feature of Lilypond seems to work just fine as it is. Cheers, Colin. -- Colin Hall _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
