Re: \alternative Not Working

[Will Oram]

I am using 2.3.10 at the moment. I viewed the output using PS and PDF. 
There is no change in adding instruments, removing non-repeat music, 
and removing music within the repeat block.

 Here is the complete block with appropriate defs added:

cr                      = \markup { \italic cresc. }
dashed          = \once \set crescendoSpanner = #'dashed-line
caesura                 = {  \override BreathingSign
                         #'text = #(make-musicglyph-markup "scripts-caesura") }

\repeat volta 2 {
        dsharp2( gsharp)
        e4-._\cr csharp-. \dashed gsharp-.\< csharp-.
        e2( a)
        fsharp4 dsharp b! dsharp
        fsharp2( b)
        r4 fsharp( b2)~
        b4 r r2\!
