I assume you want a repeat barline? The syntax in 2.22 and later would be \bar".|:" .
{ c1 \bar".|:" c1 } If you don't mind having one at the end as well (the usual format), you could just use \repeat, i.e.: { c1 \repeat volta 2 { c1 } } Cheers, Aleksa Jakovljevic organist / harpsichordist / musicologist Montreal, Canada
