Re: problem with volta bracket

In Lilypond, (nearly) every tweak has to be placed *immediately*  
before the item you're tweaking. In this case, it means just before  
the \alternative (which is where the VoltaBracket begins) -- see  
code, below.

Also, it appears that you want a "pickup" bar, but you're not using  
\partial -- you should look for that in the documentation.

Best regards,
Kieren.
