Re: How to chop a slur over a rest in a 1. volta repeat

[Trevor Daniels]

There's a way, but it's rather messy.

Here's some code to give you a start.  Essentially you draw a 
coloured box
with \markup, experiment to get the right size, move it into the 
right
position, and place it in layer 2 to put it above everything else, 
and
then make the box white.  If you add this when everything else is 
stable
it is just about do-able.  One problem is it pushes the volta marks 
too
high.  Offhand I don't know how to prevent this.

\alternative {
 { r1
   % move to right position
   -\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-2 . -1.5)
   % place in higher layer
   -\tweak #'layer #2
   ^\markup {
     % specify color
     \with-color #white  % start with a visible colour
     % specify size
     \filled-box #'(0 . 10) #'(0 . 1) #0
   }

}
