Re: \repeat unfold has problems inside \repeat volta

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Michael,

you’re not exactly wrong there. In recent versions is has become possible to 
put the \alternative inside the reapeat block, which allows having 
alternatives in other parts than the end, and after all one might say that 
this is in fact a more sane way to do it. But for Lilypond still supports the 
older way of doing things for reasons of not breaking old scores.

This then leads to some ambiguity in sytax, as we have in your case. It is not 
inherently clear if that \alternative block belongs to the inner repeat or to 
the outer repeat. The current way is consistent with the older behaviour, but 
maybe not what you’d expect to get.

Cheers,
Valentin
