Did you resort to inkscape to get the because you wanted an
end-of-second-time marker? LilyPond doesn't give one with this syntax

\version "2.19.25"
{

a'8 b' c' e' c'2
a'4 b' 
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1"))
d'4 g' 
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f)) 
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "2"))
\set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -1/2) d'8 e' f' g' 
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
d''4 c'' b' a'
%5
a' b' c'' d'' \bar ":|."}


and it gives a warning which I don't understand. OTOH the
end-of-second-time marker wouldn't serve any particular purpose - the
player doesn't do anything special at that point.
