Re: Text extender in repeat

Hi Andy,

Dear Lilypondians,

I found a solution to a similar problem given years ago on the mailing list,
but I can't understand it. Maybe it works on earlier versions?

Where is it? 

Could you provide us any link?

 

Here is my point, last bar extender should begin at the beginning of the
bar, not before:

Here's a simple one:

\version "2.18.2"

%% repeat extender:
voltaExt = \markup\concat { \hspace #-2 \transparent "." }

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \relative c'' {
      \time 2/1
      \repeat volta 2 {
        r4 g4 d'2. a4 bes2~
        bes  a2 g1~
      }
      \alternative{
       { g2 fis4 e fis1 d'1 c2 bes}
       { g\repeatTie fis4 e fis1 }
      }
      \bar "|."
    }
    \addlyrics {
       of Prin- ces all __ _ _
       the __  _ flow'r.
       Who took a-
       %% volta 2
       \voltaExt __ the __ _ flow'r.
    }
  >>
}

Hope this helps,
Cheers,

Pierre
