Subject: | Repeat alternative includes a tempo change |

I'm new to LilyPond (v2.12.3) and to music notation
in general, so I'm just a tad beyond the starting point on LilyPond's learning
curve. I'm scratching my head now as to how to write the repeats in my
learning testfile, "Podmoskovnye Vechera", (Moscow Nights). The melody has
four verses, each verse has two couplets (i.e., four stanzas per verse), with
the second couplet repeated in each of the four verses. The repeats
for the first three verses are identical, but the repeat for the final verse
includes a tempo change (slower, sadly) with an octave upbeat at the end.
I'm only coding the melody line for now; here's the code I've been using (time =
2/4):
\bar "|:"
\repeat volta 4
%%
notation shows repeat for verses 1, 2, 3, only
{
b4
cis4
e8 d8
a4~a8
e4 d8
\mbreak %% \mbreak
defined in my '%% Definitions' block
a'8. g16
bes4~bes4
c8
bes8
a4 g8
f8
}
\alternative
%%
notation shows repeat for verse 4
{
{a4 g8
f8 d2 }
{
d'2~d2\fermata }
}
\bar "||"
To get it right (volta showing verses 1 - 4,
alternative showing verse 4 only) will I need to code the final couplet of
verse 4 into \alternative? Or is there a better, more professional way to
do it?
Thanks, very best regards,
Ken Kellogg-Smith
