Re: Line break not working

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's impossible to run your example since it contains a number
of definitions that we don't have. Wait a second, you are working
on the bagpipe.ly example, but there are lots of macros that I still
don't have defined. Please, send a complete example the next time, it
will increase the chance of a quick response.

Why don't you use the \repeat volta 2{...} syntax for repeats?
They will give you the correct repeat bar lines for free.
However, if you want to do it manually, think of what it would
look like if the repeat appeared in the middle of a line. In that
case, you would want a :|:, right? LilyPond is smart enough to know
that a :|: should be broken into a :| followed by a |: if it occurs
at a line break, so you can simply say \bar ":|:" \break.
