New issue 3841 by address@hidden: Docs: Repeats: follow-up for issue  
355 and 3792
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3841

The fix for issue 355 (with its follow-up issue 3792) resolves the problem  
with repeats starting mid-bar.

The documented work-around in NR 1.4.1
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/long-repeats#normal-repeats
after "When alternate endings are added to a repeat that begins with an  
incomplete measure," is no longer needed.  The example could be moved to a  
regression test; we need some regression test for the concept of volta  
repeats staring mid-measure.

So long as the repeated portion lasts an integral number of bars, LilyPond  
now figures the timing correctly. (Repeated portions always an integral  
number of bars in practice; if they were not the bar-lines would fall in  
different places each time through the repeated portion, an the we would  
either write the music without bar-lines or unfold the repeat.)

It might be efficient to rewrite two confusing regression tests at the same  
time,

(Eventually, I'll push revised tests that make more sense.)
