That reminds me of another (great) argument for  \repeat volta  and
against  \bar "|:" .

IIRC  \repeat volta  forbid (or at least penalize) page turn in the
middle of a repeated (volta) passage.  This is not the case for the
 \bar "|:"  solution.   Also  \repeat volta  does not put a end repeat
bar (":|") just after a line break for instance.

So actually a strong (and useful) argument in favor of  \repeat volta .

Cheers,
Xavier
