Re: Problem with repeats

[Mats Bengtsson]

The syntax for repeats is
\repeat volta 2 music-expression \alternative{music-expression 
music-expression}
where each music expression in your example is some music surrounded by
curly braces. The problem in your code is that you inserted a \break command
between the first music expression and the \alternative. The simple 
solution is
to move the \break command before the curly brace:
... \repeat "volta" 2 { ...
ees2 g4 bes a4. g8 f4 d c bes c d f r r c r r bes r r f r r  \break }
\alternative { ...
