Re: Extraneous repeat with leading rest

[Todd Hesla]

Colin,

Interesting.  The code you presented actually works, despite not following the
guidelines in the Notation Reference (Section 2.1.2, "Techniques specific to
lyrics", subsection "Lyrics and repeats"), where it it clearly says that one
should use a parallel "repeat" construct inside the lyrics definition.

So maybe it's actually a documentation bug, not a code bug per se?

But thanks very much for the code suggestion--it will enable me to avoid doing
the repeat manually (not that that would be such a tragedy).

Best,
