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