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