this appears to work for me when there is repeated music before the alts.  in 
this case however, the second volta bracket 
will not complete properly as Sven previously stated.

when there is nothing before the alts, the first volta bracket will not appear, 
which I assume is normal behaviour. 

think I'll just write stuff out the long way for the time being.

thanks for all your help.
