Mr. Bailey,
Thank you for your reply and the detailed corrections. I will study both of them to increase my knowledge.

I have experimented with placing \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 3/8) after the second alternative. Using it restores the meter. It does not remove the extra bar. What other method should I try? you have two possibilities: first: you have a partial upbeat, so you also have a partial first repeat bar. use the \set Timing.measurePosition in the first alternative like this: <<< \relative c'' { \time 3/4 \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -5/16) \repeat volta 2 { e16 e8. e16 | e4 e e } \alternative { { \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -7/16) e4 r8. } { e4 r8 \key ees \minor bes8 [ ges ees ] | } } d4 d d | } >>> however, you then have a key change in the middle of the second alternative. this is ugly. a more "correct" way of notating your example, avoiding partial bars after the first bar: <<< \relative c'' { \time 3/4 \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -5/16) e16 e8. e16 | \repeat volta 2 { e4 e e } \alternative { { e4 r8. e16 e8. e16 | } { e4 r8 } } bes8 [ ges ees ] | \key ees \minor d4 d d | } >>> regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
