In what way? In the OP it said that the music was "repeated in full". Indeed, in the example, the same notes are present in 2 and 4, just as the OP promised. > in that 2 needs a repeat barline at the end of the measures, > you need one alternative each. Eh? Are you telling me that I can't write the first rendition any more because, in the second, only 1 needs a repeat barline at the end of the measure, and 2 *mustn't* have one? IOW what you seem to be saying is that writing ":|." at the end of a measure means that under no circumstances should you continue past that barline to the next measure—so my first rendition generates an infinite loop. > This means three alternatives: > 1 & 3 > 2 > 4 > > Which is to say, I agree with how you did it in the second half of your > example.
