Re: Repeats, coda information and lyrics that jump

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's much easier to answer your questions if you include some
examples of the code you have tried. If possible, try to reduce
your examples in size to a few lines of code that still illustrate
the problem you are facing. If you (and we) are lucky, you might
even find the solution while doing it.
