Well, I reread the stuff on voltas and noticed the bit about "start of
bar only". I moved my volta-end markers to the start of their
respective bars and got my thin-thick bar as I coded it, and the
second volta is now open. But the first volta still extends too far
to the right (bumping into the opening of the second volta). And I
don't get a thin-thick bar at the end of the piece even when I
explicitly code it. My current version of the volta paragraphs is
below:
V1--7 f2d r8 c8 |] Vb
C: a
L: me. (There's)
% %% l
% * The "railroad rhythm" should grow more pronounced as the song progresses.
% %% l
% + You can use a toy train whistle, otherwise optional
U: |
V8 ( f0 | Vx f2 ) r8 f8 o> f4 of |]
C: a- a
L: me (Whoo-whoo!)$^\dagger$
