Re: Special handling for .|:-|| barline type?

Steven,

Subject: Special handling for .|:-|| barline type?

I've run across a
problem with repeats at breaks (double bar on the previous line, start
repeat sign on the start of the next line).  Whenever I attempt to override
the stencil in any way, I lose the || bar at the end of the line (it gets
replaced with another .|: bar).

Minimal example attached - any suggestions on what I need to do to maintain
the .|:--|| behavior?  Is this a case where I'd have to use
before/after-line-breaking?

Thanks!

The trick is to define a missing barline definition.

What is not obvious is that each barline definition has a few cases.
These correspond to how it is treated before a line break, in the middle of a line, and after a line break.

So, you'll want to define a repeat barline that prints as a double bar line at the end of the preceding line.
Then you need to use that barline explicitly for your volta.

Here is the one I use, which does the same thing except it also uses the bigger flags "[|:".
You can probably fiddle with that part of it to get what you want, if you want no flags on the repeat.

Sorry, I didn't look at your example.  I'm not too fond of attachments, and I don't think it really matters in this case.  You aren't doing anything wrong, you just need to fill out this missing piece of 'pond.

\version "2.18.0"

%  The missing definition.
\defineBarLine "||.[|:" #'("||" "[|:" "")
 
\new PianoStaff <<
 
  \new Staff { \clef treble \key c\major \time 4/4

    %  No need to add tweak barline at the end here, since it is being covered by the new repeat.
    <g c' e'> <a c' f'> <g c' e'> <a c' f'> | \break

    %  Use the barline here
    \bar "||.[|:"

    \repeat volta 2 {
      <g c' e'> <a c' f'> <g c' e'> <a c' f'> |
    }

    %  If you like the big flags, use the corresponding end repeat here.
    \bar ":|]"
  }

  \new Staff { \clef bass \key c\major \time 4/4
    <c, c>4 <d, d> <c, c>4 <d, d> |
    <c, c>4 <d, d> <c, c>4 <d, d> |
  }
