Re: repeat

[Jonathan Scholbach]

I had a similar problem when managing different spread of text in different stanzas of a song. Maybe the following solution (which does not produce the correct midi-output!) is appropriate for you? - for me it looks like a bit of cheating, but it seems to work.

\version "2.19.22"

verseOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." This is the first al -- ter -- na -- tive }

verseTwo = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2." And this is the se -- cond one }

melodyOne = \relative c'' {

c4 d e f

f e d c

}

melodyTwo = \relative c'' {

%make voice effectively invisible

\override Slur.transparent = ##t

\override Stem.transparent = ##t

\override Dots.transparent = ##t

\override Beam.transparent = ##t

\override NoteHead.transparent = ##t

\voiceTwo

r4 d e f

f e d c

}

\score {

\new Staff <<

\new Voice = "first" { \repeat volta 2 { \melodyOne } }

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "first" { \verseOne }

\new Voice = "second" { \voiceTwo \melodyTwo }

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "second" { \verseTwo }

>>

}

Instead of manually overriding the visibility of the notes you can use \hideNotes after the rest in verseTwo, too.

Hope that helps,

Jonathan

I do NOT want to copy/paste or repaet the notes. My problem is, that
only the first note is different. With using repeat volta usually just
the "tail" of a sequence of notes is different and not all with the
exception of the first.

Put in both notes in different voices and add texts {1.} and {2.}.
