   8 Hi,
   9         I want to write some music that has the structure:
  10
  11         Intro
  12         \repeat 4 { Chorus [first-ending] verse }
  13         fifth-ending final
  14
  15         The obvious:
  16
  17         \repeat 4 { Chorus \alternative{{first-ending}{}} verse}
  18         \alternative{{}{fifth-ending}}
  19         final
  20
  21         doesn't work.
  22
  23         And the (logically correct but ugly)
  24
  25         \repeat 4 {Chorus}
  26         \alternative {{first-ending verse}{fifth ending}}
  27         final
  28
  29         is very ugly, because the volta bracket keeps going for so
  30         long.
