Volta brackets in multiple staves

Revision as of 18:56, 16 November 2025 by Jean Abou Samra (talk | contribs) (Replace version="2.24.0" with version="2.24" now that the LilyWiki extension supports auto-selecting the latest release in a stable series)

By adding the Volta_engraver to the relevant staff, volte can be put over staves other than the topmost one in a score.

\version "2.24"

voltaMusic = \relative c'' {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    c1
    \alternative {
      \volta 1 { d1 }
      \volta 2 { e1 }
    }
  }
}
