Hi List, I have a score with repeats and irregular alternate endings. I can neatly engrave that but I don't seem to be able to produce correct MIDI w/o manually arranging all segments.
Does someone has a trick up his sleeve?
I found mails regarding this problem in the archive dating back to 2008...
Here is my "kind of" MWE:
%-------------------
\version "2.21.2"
body = { c'4 c' c' c' }
voltaI = { d'4 d' d' d' }
voltaII = { e'4 e' e' e' }
voltaIII = { g'4 g' g' g' }
musicI = {
\repeat volta 5 \body
\alternative {
\voltaI
\voltaII
\voltaIII
}
\bar "|."
}
musicII = {
\repeat volta 5 \body
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1."))
\voltaI
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "2. 3. 4.") end-repeat)
\voltaII
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "5.") end-repeat)
\voltaIII
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
\bar "|."
}
\markup "Default w/o \unfoldRepeats"
\score {
\musicI
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
\markup "Default unfold is 1.-3. -> Volta 1, 4. -> Volta 2 and 5. -> Volta 3"
\score {
\unfoldRepeats \musicI
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
\markup "This is what I want..."
\score {
\musicII
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
\markup "...but \unfoldRepeats does not deal with it"
\score {
\unfoldRepeats \musicII
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
\markup "Of course I could enforce it manually"
\score {
{ \body \voltaI \repeat unfold 3 { \body \voltaII } \body \voltaIII \bar "|."
}
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
\markup "How should I change \musicII to enable \unfoldRepeats to work the way
I want it?"
\markup "Is there a way to tell \alternative which repeats in which volta (and
the volta texts)?"

Kind regards,
Michael
