We must follow different conventions then.

Lilypond has a facility to check for correctly filled bars. I believe your request to change the behaviour of \alternative would interfere with her ability to do that for music in alternative sections. > The whole point of alternatives is that they are > alternative continuations _from the same point_. Yes, I can see the elegance of your suggestion, especially for music that changes meter so often at the end of repeated sections. > However, because there is a practical workaround, I do agree that > it's not a high priority request at all. Well, that's very good of you to see it that way. That's my feeling too. > I'm at the limit of my articulateness, so I hope that makes sense! Yes, I think you have documented the idea very clearly.
