David, I *did* read the section on long repeats and alternatives in the Notation Reference. It was partially helpful. However, I did not realize that having the \set command outside the soft brackets would make the \set command an alternative. I also tried various alternate ways of including the \set commands, with only partial luck. Harm, thanks for the help. I haven't yet quite decided which way to go - probably with \override s. As I said, I've run into this in the past and others may have, too. When I have a few minutes, I plan to submit all three successful versions as snippets. All the best, Ralph​ -- Ralph Palmer Brattleboro, VT USA [email protected]
