Re: chords under endings updated but now for staffgroup?

[Mats Bengtsson]

You shouldn't read my old answers if Han-Wen has given some better
answers. As is also described in the section on "Repeat Syntax" in
the manual, the correct(!) way of handling such a situation is to
set the voltaOnThisStaff property. Unfortunately, the example file
linked from the manual is missing, so here comes a copy from the
old manual, updated to version 2.4.2:

\header {

    texidoc = "Volta brackets can be placed over chord names. This
requires adding an engraver to @code{ChordNames}, and setting
@code{voltaOnThisStaff} correctly."

}

\version "2.4.0"
\score {
    <<
  \new ChordNames \with {
      voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
  } \chordmode {
     c1 c
  }
  \new Staff \with {
      voltaOnThisStaff = ##f
  }  {
   \repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' }
  }
>>
}
