Re: Repeats & alternate endings with second stanza

[Mats Bengtsson]

You don't say how you handle the lyrics of the second stanza (there
are several ways). However, repeats with alternative endings are
done the same in lyrics as in ordinary music.
\lyrics{ \repeat volta 2 { Some text }
        \alternative{{First end -- ing }{Se -- cond end -- ing }}}

If one of the alternatives shouldn't have any text, just leave an
empty {} for it.

I'm not sure I have understood your question, it's always easier if
you have some lines of code showing approximately what you want to
do.
