Thank you for the MWE. If you want to show the second alternate bracket
over the "g" instead of "g a b c", then why not just move the "a b c" out
altogether? Then the \set Score.voltaSpannerDuration part isn't necessary
at all:
\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"
\score {
\new Staff {
\time 4/4
\clef treble
\relative c''
{
c1
\repeat volta 2 {
c d e f
}
\alternative {
{
g f e d
}
{
g %<-- JUST THIS HERE
}
}
a b c %<-- THE REST HERE
b a g
}
}
}
HTH,
Abraham
