I hope you have a good reason to deviate from standard music typesetting practice. As far as I can see, it's hard-coded into LilyPond to not typeset the opening repeat at the beginning of a piece, but if there is a general need for such an option, it should be easy to make this configurable. /M

I just succeeded in something that took me several hours to figure out, so I thought I'd pass the magic words on here in case someone else needs to do it. This is on a debian Sid system where I would like to run lilypond 2.0. The problem was that an update script stupidly upgraded tetex to 3.0.

It looks as if you have used a test file designed for LilyPond version 2.6. The input syntax has changed since version 2.2.6 (which really is very old by now). Please read the tutorial for version 2.2 to learn how to produce a relevant test file for that version. /Mats Michael Porcaro wrote:

Jazz scores often print starting repeats. I really don't care too much if this is standard or not. It's just more readable to me and the musicians I use to work with (I don't use it for "classical" music though). Since the trick below works easily, I don't see the need for such change. On Fr
