I actually have two problems with this piece.
1. I get a setvolta collision. I've been able to use voltas in other
pieces, and I don't immediately see what I'm doing wrong.
I can set this piece without the voltas, and if necessary I'll just draw
them in by hand.
2. My instrumental annotations have a line drawn under them, because I
used the "force beam" feature. Is there a way to get the beamed notes
with no lyrics and without drawing a line under them? (This isn't a
major problem because I can always "erase" the line when I'm getting the
image ready for inclusion in a Word97 document.)
Here's the output from running Tex:
