Editing Volta text markup using repeatCommands

Though volte are best specified using <code>\repeat volta</code>, the context property <code>repeatCommands</code> must be used in cases where the volta text needs more advanced formatting with <code>\markup</code>.

Since <code>repeatCommands</code> takes a list, the simplest method of including markup is to use an identifier for the text and embed it in the command list using the Scheme syntax <code>#(list (list 'volta textIdentifier))</code>. Start- and end-repeat commands can be added as separate list elements:

<lilypond version="2.24.0">
voltaAdLib = \markup { 1. 2. 3... \text \italic { ad lib. } }

\relative c'' {
  c1
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #(list (list 'volta voltaAdLib) 'start-repeat)
  c4 b d e
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "4.") end-repeat)
  f1
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
}
</lilypond>
