Hi Ralph,
The LSR snippet you mentioned still works just fine in 2.19.81. If you
would post an example of how you have tried to use it, we may be better
able to help you track down what isn't working for you.
Now, since setting repeat commands can be a little tedious, I have been
using the following helper functions since 2.10.33, with minor
alterations over the years:
%%%%
\version "2.19.81"
startRepeat = \set Score.repeatCommands = #'(start-repeat)
startVolta = #(define-music-function (text) (markup?)
#{ \set Score.repeatCommands = #(list (list 'volta text)) #})
changeVolta = #(define-music-function (text) (markup?)
#{ \set Score.repeatCommands = #(list '(volta #f) 'end-repeat (list
'volta text)) #})
endVolta = \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
endVoltaStartRepeat = \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f)
start-repeat)
endRepeat = \set Score.repeatCommands = #'(end-repeat)
\relative c'' {
\startRepeat
f4 g a b |
\startVolta \markup \text \small "1, 2, 3, etc."
g4 a g a |
c1 |
\changeVolta \markup \text \small "Last time"
b4 a g f |
\endVolta
e1 \bar "|." |
}
%%%%
NOTE: I included \endVoltaStartRepeat and \endRepeat, but they were
unneeded for the example.

Thanks, Aaron -
It works beautifully, and the set of commands should be very helpful!
I'm not surprised that the LSR snippet works in 2.19.81. I'm certain my difficulty relates to my unfamiliarity with Scheme and with the way Scheme operates with LilyPond functions and commands. And, in fact, exactly how LilyPond functions and commands relate to each other, especially in areas I'm not familiar with. I need to study more.
All the best,
Ralph
