Hi Federico,

The \repeat function needs to know two things:
(1) where to put the various visual bits; and
(2) how to unfold the repeats if the part (or midi) is being written out.
In the example you linked to (page 23, first score), we have structurally
{ 1m } { § + 3m + ’to Coda ø’ } { 2m + ‘D.S. al coda’ + || } { 'ø coda’ + 2m
+ .| }
where § is the standard D.S. symbol, ø is the standard coda symbol, ‘m’ stands
for measures of music, and the other symbols are the various barlines.
So the suggested repeat structure would be
\repeat segnocoda { 1m } \alternatives { { 3m } { 2m } { 2m } }
which is essentially exactly what David K has on the issue page.
Does that make sense now?
If not, please ask a specific question, as I’m not clear on what you don’t
understand.
If it *does* make sense to you, but you think it’s an inferior solution, please
point out why and suggest an alternative which in your opinion solves the
problem(s).
All the best,
Kieren.
