Re: repeat with alternates in middle

[Jason Addison]

I've been doing just what you described to a large degree.
I would still like to do what I described in the oringinal post. 
I want to do it for a couple of reasons. First to save space, 
and second, to make the structure of the music obvious. 
If this is a serious faux pas in music engraving, let me know 
and I'll try to want to do it less!

Thanks
