Starting a repeat at the beginning, II

[Palmer, Ralph]

Greetings -

Thanks for all your help so far. I've run into two other matters in
Manual repeats for the GDP that I don't understand. I'll address one in
this email, and send another for the other problem.

I'm running LilyPond 2.11.49 under Windows XP SP3.

I'm working on starting a piece with a repeat sign (bar "|:"). In order
to get it to work, I used the Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders
structure. This works with
\bar "|:"
but does not work with
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'( start-repeat )

Is that the expected behavior? The Score.repeatCommands version does not
produce an error in the log, but no repeat sign is printed. If this is
the expected behavior, I don't understand why Score.repeatCommands does
not work. Should this be included in the GDP Repeats as a Known Issue?

Here are the two versions:

TestVoltaStartBreakAlign = {

        \relative c'' {

        \once \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders =
        #(make-vector 3 '(
        instrument-name
        left-edge
        ambitus
        span-bar
        breathing-sign

        key-signature
        time-signature
        staff-bar
        custos
        span-bar
        ))

        \set Score.repeatCommands = #'( start-repeat )
        c1
        d1
        d4 e f g
        }
}
