The problem is that voltas specified in lyrics are inserted right where lyrics are, not aligned with voltas from music. Maybe this will help you visualise what happens (it may be worth to add this to tracker): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \language "english" \header { title = "Lyric volta bug" } \markup "voltas created by notes:" \new Staff { \repeat volta 2 { ef'1 } \alternative { { r2 r4 r8 bf8 } { r2 r4 r8 bf8 } } ef'4-. r4 r2 } \addlyrics { gu. Mun8 Mun8 gu.4 } \markup "voltas created by lyrics:" << \new Staff { \new Voice = "sop" { ef'1 r2 r4 r8 bf8 r2 r4 r8 bf8 ef'4-. r4 r2 } } \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \repeat volta 2 { gu.1 \skip 2.. } \alternative { { Mun8 -- \skip 2.. } { Mun8 -- } } gu.4 } >> \markup "these two interfere and result in wrong output you got." % hth, % Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
