Hello all,

In my current engraving, I’m trying to include aleatoric repeats, exactly as seen in the example given at:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-03/msg00247.html>

I spent about an hour following the various threads around, but can’t seem to figure out the current state-of-the-art. (There were so many “maybe put this in the LSR” and “all done except X” and “I’ve updated the box repeat, but not the frame engraver”, etc.)

Is there a canonical set of files (including examples) that I can use?

 

Eek. Maybe there is something more up-to-date than found at the link you cite.  Unfortunately, this all comes from before the days I had the wisdom to use version control with my own stuff, so I'll have to hunt around.

I think that problems have crept into the engravers as LilyPond has changed in the meantime.  Possibly there is a quick fix, and the version you cite is workable.  Quick fixes aside, I gave up on this a long time ago, so no enhancements for the foreseeable future :)  (The archives give a record of the problems I had and couldn't solve by myself.)
