Re: repeats with 3rd stanza following

[James Bailey]

Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to, I don't understand it fully,  
but anything between {} happens sequentially, anything between <<>>  
happens simultaneously. It makes sense on paper, but practical  
applications are a bit trickier. For these kinds of things, I usually  
just define a new voice context in my existing one, i.e.:

verseVocal = \context Voice = "Vocal" \relative c'' {
        \repeat volta 50 { … }
        \context Voice = "chorusVocal" { … }
        \bar "|."
}
