Isn't there a danger that the "2x" will be seem as merely a redundant reinforcement of an ordinary repeat unless you mark the end of the second alternative. > Otherwise, I used the "1, 3", "2", "4" variation, which looks fine. How good it looks might depend on the relative scale of the repeated section and the alternatives. Cheers, David.
