Hi List,
I have a somewhat difficult issue with volta and alternative endings. First, a verbal description:
I have a score in which a passage is repeated 3 times, each with a different ending. At the last ending, I have a section that repeats thrice, followed by three separate endings. So, here is a MWE:
\version "2.19.52"
\relative c' {
\time 4/8
\repeat volta 5 {
s2*24 |
}
\alternative {
{ % 25-28
\mark \default
s2*4
| % 29-30
\time 2,2,3 7/8
s1*7/8*2
\bar "||"
| %31
s1*7/8
| % 32-35
\time 4/8
s2*4
| %36-37
s2 | s4 s8 s16 s16^\markup { \right-align { "D.S. al Coda" } } |
}
\break
{
% 38-52 (copied from "Abschied")
\mark \default
\once \override Score.MetronomeMark.extra-offset = #'(1 . 2.75)
\tempo 8 = 104
\time 4/4
\key b \major
s1*15 \bar "||"
%53-57
\mark \default
s1*5 | }
\break
{
% 58-59
\mark \default
\once \override Score.MetronomeMark.extra-offset = #'(1 . 0)
\tempo "Lento (Tempo I)"
\time 4/8
\key b \minor
s2*2 |
}
}
s2*4
\bar "|."
}
here's the issue: there are only three alternative endings that I can see -- the ones starting at 25, 38, and 58 --, but Lilypond gives me the following error if I have any fewer that 5 repeats given to volta:
warning: More alternatives than repeats. Junking excess alternatives
furthermore, in my complete file, the \time and \key statements in the last alternative block are ignored, so that I get a bunch of barcheck failures.
Can you let me know what I'm doing wrong here?
Cheers,
A
