+When alternate endings are added to a repeat that begins with an
+incomplete measure, it becomes necessary to set the
+@code{Timing.measureLength} context property manually, in the
+following specific places:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+at the start of any incomplete measures in the @code{\alternative}
+block, which normally occur at the end of each alternative, except
+(in most cases) the last.
+
+@item
+at the start of each alternative, except the first.
+@end itemize
