Unfortunately this seems to give the same problem as when the music
starts with a grace note (causing the time sign to be duplicated).
Only now it's the second volta-spanner which is duplicated.
So... two hacks would be required.

Oh... Apropos co-sponsoring.
I would like to co-sponsor the second ending tie bug being resolved.
