Dear List,

The LilyPond notation reference, section 2.1.2, (
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics)
contains the following example of how to use lyrics in concert with repeat
alternative endings.  It compiles fine in version 2.18.2, showing both the
first and second endings complete with lyrics:

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \time 2/4
      \new Voice = "melody" {
        \relative c'' {
          a4 a a a
          \repeat volta 2 { b4 b }
          \alternative { { b b } { b c } }
        }
      }
    }
    \new Lyrics {
      \lyricsto "melody" {
        Not re -- peat -- ed.
        \repeat volta 2 { Re -- peat -- }
        \alternative { { ed twice. } { ed twice. } }
      }
    }
  >>
}

In the following modified example, the first beat of each ending has been
changed to a rest, and a syllable removed from the lyrics to match.  Now
when compiled, it shows two first endings and two second endings.  Moreover
the log contains the error "warning: already have a volta spanner, ending
that one prematurely". I have scoured the documentation and searched the
list archives, and cannot find any mention of this.  Can you help?

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \time 2/4
      \new Voice = "melody" {
        \relative c'' {
          a4 a a a
          \repeat volta 2 { b4 b }
          \alternative { { r b } { r c } }
        }
      }
    }
    \new Lyrics {
      \lyricsto "melody" {
        Not re -- peat -- ed.
        \repeat volta 2 { Re -- peat }
        \alternative { { twice. } { twice. } }
      }
    }
  >>
}

Thank you,

Pete H.
