That works for me too. Thanks! One last detail - I hope - when the difference between the first and
second time involves a whole bar the spanners cannot be seperated by a transparent bar. In such cases is the following snippet acceptable or is there another tweak which can be used to seperate them? ................................ \version "2.18.0" #(allow-volta-hook "|") music = \relative c''' { \key c \major \time 2/4 \bar ".|:" \repeat volta 2 { \partial 8 g8 a16.
