volta bracket placing

[Simon Bailey]

hi all,

trying the following example:

\include "deutsch.ly"
\score {
 \notes \relative c' {
  \time 4/4
  \key b \major
  \clef bass
  \repeat volta 2 {
    r4 g16 a b8 ~ b4 ~ b16 f f8 | f' () c d () b b16 b g8 ~ g8. f16 |
    es'4 d c b16 b8. ~ | b2 r2
  }
  \alternative {
    { R1 * 4 }
    { r4 g16 a b8 ~ b4 ~ b16 f f8 | f' () c d () b b16 b g8 ~ g8. f16 |
    es'4 d c b16 b8. ~ | b2 r2\fermata }
  }
 }
}

the second volta bracket is higher than the first (i'm using lily
1.6.6). is there anyway to get round this? i think that volta brackets
should be placed at the same height, but have no idea how to acheive
this ...

i also think that the standard behaviour should be to place the volta
brackets at the same height automagically... (i've never seen brackets
at different levels in printed music). does lily 1.7.x do this?

and while i'm on that track, i've just started working on a large
project with lily 1.6.x -- can lily 1.7.x understand 1.6. syntax w/out
changes?

thanks, regards,
simon.
