Just let LP choose the barline types.

Cheers,

Hi,

I am looking at a 4 - part tune where the first and third parts are
repeated and the second and fourth parts are not repeated. Try as I
may, I cannot get Lilypond to put  the repeats and closing bars in
the right place when engraving the tune. The following is just about
as simple as I can get it and still show the issue.


If you use \repeat volta 2 { ... }
and then put a \bar "..." command afterwards, this bar command overrides
the repeat bar line – so in fact, the line is repeated internally for
lilypond, but you can't see it.

In this case, you'll have to define your own repeat bar line at the
beginning of your document:

#(define-bar-line ":|.-.|" ":|." ".|" "|.")

and use it like this:

\repeat volta 2 { ... }

\bar ":|.-.|"   \bar "|."


The way lilypond deals internally with repeats versus explicitly given
barlines is not optimal yet :-(

HTH,

Marc

Trouble Combining Repeats and Closing Bars in tunes

2016-10-17 Thread Ben Beeson
Hi,

I am looking at a 4 - part tune where the first and third parts are
repeated and the second and fourth parts are not repeated. Try as I
may, I cannot get Lilypond to put  the repeats and closing bars in the
right place when engraving the tune. The following is just about as
simple as I can get it and still show the issue.  

% BarExample.ly 
\version "2.19.48"

example = {   \time 2/4
  \relative c''{
 \repeat volta 2 { a8 a8 a8 a8 | a8 a8 a8
a8 | \break  }  
  \bar ".|" d8 d8 d8 d8
|  d8 d8 d8 d8 | \bar "|." \break
 \repeat volta 2 { a8 a8 a8 a8 | a8 a8 a8
a8 | \break } 
  \bar ".|"  d8 d8 d8 d8 |
d8 d8 d8 d8 | \bar "|." \break }
}
 

\score   
{
\new Staff <<

\new Voice {
\example
}   
>>   
}
% end BarExample.ly 

This produces the following which is clearly not what I intended since
the first and third lines should be repeated and the second and fourth
lines are not repeated. 


 What am I doing wrong and what is the best way to fix it short of
using separate score blocks for each part? 

Thanks in advance for your help,

Ben
