Re: I ought to have a bar line here...

[Mike Dean]

Still stumped....

\version "2.20.0"

{

 \alternative {
   {c c8. c16 c4 r }
   {c c8. c16 c4\mark "Fine" r  
\markup \vspace #1

\defineBarLine ".|:-|." #'("|." ".|:" #f)
\markup \bold \typewriter "\".|:-|.\""
    \bar ".|:-|." }
  }
  \break
 
    \repeat volta 2 {
  \bar ".|:"\mark "Trio" a4.\p r16 e a8. e16 gs8. e16 | a4. r16 e a8. e16 gs8. e16 |

}

has generated the following errors

So maybe I'll have to draw it in the PDF, since I seem to be at the point that my understanding of LilyPond is enough to get me stuck in the weeds?

(the first of Aaron's suggestions did not generate a bar line before the Trio....would enclosing the piece in two separate pairs of braces be useful?)

Near as I can tell, the naming convention is "primary-secondary".  Only
a bar line breaking across a line will show both styles.  Otherwise, it
is the style before the hyphen that is used.
