I apologize if this ends up being posted twice...
I'm new to LilyPond and have resisted for the past week jumping in and asking a newbie question. Instead, I've used the documentation and googled the list for answers. Here's what has me stumped...
I want a double bar line at the end of staff 2. I have it indicated, and it appeared until I started messing with the volta position. Now it won't show.
I'm also mystified as to why the tagline at the bottom isn't changing--is my header code in the wrong part of the file? I've tried moving it, but then it breaks and won't compile.
I'm trying to set up a template so I can typeset a collection of 200 jigs and reels for publication. I started building this file on the template in the documentation.
Thanks for any advice you can offer! In the meantime, since I'm still not happy with it, I'll look for the code to pull the tune name closer to the staff.
The entire file appears below.
