how about:
\version "2.18.0"
\defineBarLine ".|:-|." #'("|." ".|:" "|.")
% needed to allow the "volta-hook" mid-line:
#(allow-volta-hook ".|:-|.")
music = \relative c' {
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\bar ".|:"
%Part 1
\repeat volta 2 {
a4. a8 b4. b8
c4. c8 d4. d8
\bar ":..:"
\break }
%Part 2
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(start-repeat)
e4. e8 f4. f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1."))
g4. g8 a4. a8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "2. --1,2") end-repeat)
b4. b8 c4. c8
\bar ".|:-|."
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
\break
%Part 3
\repeat volta 2 {
a4. a8 b4. b8
c4. c8 d4. d8
\break }
%Part 4
\repeat volta 2 {
e4. e8 f4. f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1."))
g4. g8 f4.f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
}
}% end relative
\score {
\new Staff \music
}

Well, it's possible to combine them, though you need to use correct code/syntax

Yes.
Please always reply to all!
