Hey y’all, I’m trying to write music in parallel
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices#writing-music-in-parallel>
but the thing that’s always stopped me was that I can’t figure out how to use
it with volta repeats
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/long-repeats>. For
example, I was thinking something like this:
\parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB)
{
\repeat volta 2 { \A
\repeat volta 2 { \C
\B }
\D }
}
Would produce the same as this:
voiceA = { \repeat volta 2 { \A \B } }
voiceB = { \repeat volta 2 { \C \D } }
But that’s not the case. The result is something crazy, and every minor change
in the code explodes into something far too unexpected and unpredictable. So as
an alternative, I’ve tried using \bar ":|." but I’m really trying to stick to
repeats that go beyond visual tweaking of a regular bar because I need numbered
brackets, midi block with \unfoldRepeats and all. So I need Lilypond to
actually know this is a genuine repeat.
So are parallel notation and true volta repeats simply incompatible with each
other due to the linear way Lilypond reads code? Or am I missing something that
makes them work together?
Thanks in advance :)
