Hello Olivier, Simon,
may I propose yet another variant of setting additional volta brackets:
With the command \voltainstruments{2,5}, for example, you specify that
volta brackets shall appear above instruments number 2 and 5.
Since the mailing list seems to dislike attachments, here's the coding for
the multiple volta bracket feature (beware of spurious line breaks!):
