I seem to be having trouble making a repeat work over more than one polyphonic section.  For example:
 
\repeat volta 2 {

<< notes in section 2 >>
 
}
 
This won't work.  I have to put all of the repeated measures within a single section.  Is this correct?

What are you looking to do? This works fine:

{

   \repeat volta 2 {

      << { c'4 b a b }\\{ g2 f } >>

      a8 b c' d' e' d' c' b

   }

   \alternative {

      { << { d' c' b2 }\\{ a2 f } >> }

      { << { d'2 c' }\\{ a4 b c'2 } >> }

   }

}
