Oh, come on.  There's only n! different combinations of those
things!

----
\version "2.12.0"

safetyMarkup = \markup { \text safety }
lastTimeMarkup = \markup { \text "last time only" }

\relative c'' {
  c1
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #(list (list 'volta safetyMarkup)
'start-repeat)
  c4 b d e
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #(list '(volta #f) (list 'volta
lastTimeMarkup) 'end-repeat)
  f1
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
}
