Hi Peter,

Thanks for that – ossia was indeed the key term I was ignorant of (one of those 
situations where its a big help to know the name of what you are searching for 
before you start searching).

I have it working with the exception of the bar being printed below rather than 
above the staff – a matter of getting the context name right which is something 
I need to read up on a bit more in regard to bagpipe_new.ly.

Thanks for putting me on the right path.

Cheers, Dieter.

The place we came unstuck was that the exercise tune logically (or musically, 
really) ends with a finger movement a real beginner might not be proficient 
with.  The exercise should therefore have two alternate endings - the more 
"musical" one, and the simpler one that a real beginner could use in the early 
stages of their learning.

I assumed there might be something alog the lines of a volta bracket for this 
situation but on searching I could only ever see these discussed in the 
context of alternative endings for a repeated passage of music.

I've done some searching and have been unable to find standard notation for 
alternate bars not associated with repeats described anywhere - doesn't mean 
it doesn't exists of course.Hi!

Could you use an ossia staff of some sort?
