RE: alternative problem in repetition

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Marcos,

 

The format for alternative is:

 

\alternative { {%here first alternative} {%here second alternative}}

Any voice splitting would happen within each alternative.

Hi list!,
Can anyone try these and tell me why does lilypond eliminate the second alternative?

My output said that there are more \alternatives than repetitions, but thats not true.

\version "2.18.2"

\relative a'' {
 \time 6/8
 \repeat volta 2 {
  <<
   { a8-.-- g-.-- r r4 fis8-.-- | fis8-.-- e-.-- r r4 d8-.-- | d2. }
  \\
   { fis8-.-- e-.-- r r4 e8-.-- | d8-.-- cis-.-- r r4 b8-.-- | b2. }
  >>
  a2 d8 e | a2 a8 b | e,2. | g4 fis g |
 }
 \alternative {
  { a2. }
 \\
  { a2.~ | a2 r4 }
 }
}

 

Thanks!

Marcos
