I am deeply grateful for sorting out these problems associated with the bagpipe tune format and in particular those associated with repeats. I have another irritating glitch in the same grain. A measure can have two alternative structures depending on whether it is played the first or second time. This is illustrated in the following snippet. My approach to this works, however, i get a warning: "already have a volta spanner, ending that one prematurely" and the second spanner remains open to the right. Any suggestions will be most welcome.
