Re: I ought to have a bar line here...

[Mike Dean]

Hi Carl:

Is \include "english.ly" different from \language "english"?

Part of my residing in the weeds is not being sure where \define command (and its relatives like \defineBarLine) ought to go...while the compilation didn't crash, the bar line construction was ignored in this case

Still stumped....

\version "2.20.0"

{

 \alternative {
   {c c8. c16 c4 r }
   {c c8. c16 c4\mark "Fine" r  
\markup \vspace #1

\defineBarLine ".|:-|." #'("|." ".|:" #f)
\markup \bold \typewriter "\".|:-|.\""
    \bar ".|:-|." }
  }
  \break
 
    \repeat volta 2 {
  \bar ".|:"\mark "Trio" a4.\p r16 e a8. e16 gs8. e16 | a4. r16 e a8. e16 gs8. e16 |

}

has generated the following errors

So maybe I'll have to draw it in the PDF, since I seem to be at the point that my understanding of LilyPond is enough to get me stuck in the weeds?

 

(the first of Aaron's suggestions did not generate a bar line before the Trio....would enclosing the piece in two separate pairs of braces be useful?)

Near as I can tell, the naming convention is "primary-secondary".  Only
a bar line breaking across a line will show both styles.  Otherwise, it
is the style before the hyphen that is used.
