RE: Problem with repeats: stray bar line

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Tobias:

My understanding, which is certainly limited, is that Lilypond reads the
first alternate ending and sees only three beats and assumes that the second
alternate starts (read not played) with the fourth beat. Again a case when a
human performer is smarter than a computer!
So we have to tell Lily that the second alternative starts on the first of
four (that's where the 1/4 comes in) beats.

Yes, it does, thank you!

But the docs tell me to use measureLength in some way. Is using
measurePosition, as you suggested, just another way of doing the same thing?
Or is my situation that much different from the docs so that a different
property has to be modified?
