Mahalo.
It was version mismatch. Thanks for your response.

I've not used LP for a while but in coming back to it I've been
struggling with repeats and find that this 'preferred syntax' does
not seem to work in that it produces:

error: syntax error, unexpected \alternative

\volta 6 { e2 f }

}
The error messages indicate that \volta is an "unknown escaped
string", so it's not correct.
I think you misunderstand how volta labeling works in 2.20. Here's
code that works for me[1]:
\version "2.20.0"
{
\fixed c'' {
\repeat volta 6 {
c4 d e f}
\alternative {
{ \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1. 2. 3.")) c2 e }
{ \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "4. 5.")
end-repeat) f2 d }
{ e2 f }
}
c1 }
}
HTH,
Carl
