Re: Volta Brackets by hand

[Adam Good]

Thanks Mats, I checked it out. Now there are a couple of things:

1. at the end of the bracket (the right side) it simply stops, how do i get it to to hook down like it does for \alternative endings? (if that makes sense)

2. also i understand needing to change the font for the text that will go into the bracket using markup but I don't understand how to do that without getting errors.

ie:

\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "\markup { \fontsize #-1.0 \italic "1st ending" }" ))

doesn't work of course...

%%%

\version "2.10.0"

\new Staff \relative {

a'8 b c e d c b a g4 c8 b16 c d4 b8 a16 b c4 a8 g16 a b4 g8 f16 g a8 g16 b a8 g f8. e16 d4

\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1st ending" )) c4 d2 d'8 e d8. c16 b8 c d2 \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))

\bar "||"

\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "2nd ending" )) c,4 d d a''8 b a g f g a4 r4 \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f)) \bar "||"

}
