Re: Repeat signs not working for me

Postscript -- inadvertently pressed the send button on previous message!

I did actually find another way of doing this, so the problem is solved.  I just did an experiment of importing a .xml file from another software, and the following syntax does​ work...

\version "2.16.2"

\language "english"

\relative c'' {

  \repeat volta 2 {

    c4 c4 c4 c4

    d4 d4 d4 d4

  }

  \repeat volta 2 {

    e4 e4 e4 e4

    f4 f4 f4 f4

  }

}

Thanks again...

I think I'm going to have to stick with my current version until someone with better expertise puts together a package for Linux Mint, whose software manager *still* points at 2.16.2.  Someone will get around to it sooner or later.  I've tried building from source, but the configure phase bombs out because build depends on python3 version >3.5 and I have version 3.4.  I am NOT going to upgrade python and break loads of other stuff!!!

Curiously, the NR for version 2.16.1 does, like the NR for the most recent version, include the  \bar ":.|"  way of doing things.

Any problems - ask the list. There are no stupid questions. If you
can, always provide a Minimal Working Example (MWE) which you in fact
did.

Once more, welcome to our wonderful community. Lilypond can me made to
do anything (except some of the things in my New Complexity scores
:-))
