Okay, here's the structure of a song I'm typesetting:
___________________________________________________________
\version "2.17.20"
\paper {
indent = 0
line-width = #80
tagline = ##f
}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override RehearsalMark.font-size = #-3
\override RehearsalMark.font-shape = #'italic
\override RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\override RehearsalMark.outside-staff-priority = #100
\override RehearsalMark.break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
}
}
\relative c'' {
\repeat volta 3 { \tempo "Refrain" c1 }
\alternative {
{ c \mark "to Verses" \bar "||" }
{ c \mark "to Coda" \bar "||" \break }
}
\tempo "Verses" c \mark "to Refrain" \bar ":|." \break
\tempo "Coda" c \bar "|."
}

1) How do I get the right vertical edges of the volta
spanners to print when I've overridden the bar type at those
moments? They only seem to print when there's a repeat bar
in the staff.
2) Is there a more appropriate repeat/alternative construct
for this structure where I wouldn't have to override so many
bar lines?
3) I'm abusing the \tempo command as if it were \mark,
otherwise there's a conflict between end-of-line marks and
beginning-of-line marks. Is there any way to enter 2
RehearsalMark's before and after a single bar? I wish there
were commands like \markBeforeBar and \markAfterBar to
facilitate these awkward situations. Maybe I'll request
that feature if no one has a better idea...
Thanks!
