Of course it's possible, I just copied most of the code from your "working" example, since it probably is a good idea anyway to use separate macro definitions (identifiers) for the two parts. To get volta brackets also on the second stave, you have to add the setting voltaOnThisStaff = ##t. Here

Unfortunately, there is no simple way to do the underlining for the moment as far as I know. I wouldn't be surprised if this is supported in Pango (i.e. the font handling software package used by LilyPond), and in that case it's probably not so difficult to add it to LilyPond. See also http://li

You explicitly called lilypond-book. I suspect you do not have the bin directory in your PATH. lilypond-book reads your PATH to find where lilylib is located. Your path should look like this: PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:.:/opt/ local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:
