I assume you're saying to replace the \bar "||" with \bar ".|:-||". I still don't understand why the "||" bar is overriding the repeat bar, as "||" doesn't signify end-of-piece so the \repeat volta is not at the beginning of a piece so the initial repeat bar line should be printed. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
