Re: Repeats. Again.

[Mats Bengtsson]

This clearly looks like a bug! We used to have the key signatures
always before the bar lines, but for some reason, Han-Wen changed
that 2003-06-20, according to the ChangeLog. I'm not sure what is
correct for situations when you have a key signature change in the
middle of a line, but in this situation the repeat bar line should
clearly come after the key signature.

You can easily change this yourself using

\score{
  ...
  \paper {
    ...
    \translator{
      \ScoreContext
      breakAlignOrder = #'(
        instrument-name
        left-edge
        ambitus
        breathing-sign
        clef
        key-signature
        staff-bar
        time-signature
        custos
      )
    }
  }
}
