I'm surprised ... after a bit of work it got me where I needed to be! 
Thanks very much.

I'm still not totally happy, in that because I separate layout and 
notes, I now need to insert dummy bars all over the place, but at least 
it looks like I want.

Next job - move text inside a volta alternative rather than above it ... 
I think I've seen how to do it, all I need to do is find it again ...

Anyways, I attach the modded snippet so anybody who wants it can see 
what I've done - it's a pretty typical layout on a march card ...

Cheers,
Wol
