The repeat bar lines are not measure boundaries in such cases, so no bar checks should be placed there. In the real-world piece of music, the note strings are deeply nested variables, and what I'm trying to accomplish is to put the repeats up at the score level, and not buried in some variable that may be used by multiple other variables. A repeated section that starts in the middle of a measure usually ends at the same position in a later measure so that the two ends make a complete measure. This is expected when repeated sections are not aligned to measures.
#Lilypond repeat bar update
Is it not possible? Am I reading the documentation wrong? Is there some subtle error I'm overlooking? FIXME: handle partials nicely FIXME: handle repeats more than twice (if s (display '') (begin Update current bar number by adding the number of bars in the repeat. Used at points of repetition or departure where no bar line would otherwise appear. I've tried every variation of this I can think of, especially with bracket groupings. I have been unable to get even the simplest example to use volta repeats, the \alternative construct, and parallel music, without Lilypond producing an extra context (stave), starting at the first repeat. 392 1 12 Starting the repetition in the middle of a bar not being the up-beat of the piece IS somewhat strange for lilypond as well as human readers.
