Aloha.
It was a version mismatch. Thank you for your help.

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:

\alternative {

\volta 4,5 { f2 d }
\volta 6 { e2 f }

c1 }
}
However, the old style of specifying \alternative does seem to
work. Am I doing something wrong here?
Mahalo.

Running under 2.23.6, I see no problem. Have you tried anything later
than 2.20.0?
All the best,
Ralph
