RE: Ties in second endings

[Fairchild]

Mats -

 

You must be right.  I recall seeing a third ending inserted with only one staff, but can't repeat it.

 

Here's an example of what happens with a grace note on one of two staves.

 

\version "2.4.6"
\layout { raggedright = ##t }
\score{ \relative c' <<
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 { a'1 ~ }
\alternative{ { a } { \grace a8~ a1 } }}
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 { f1 }
\alternative{ { d } { d1 } }} >> }

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This has been a good thread, presenting several alternatives for ties into a second ending.  I agree with Werner; a standard way should be provided -- all the tricks are flaky.  My post that condenses the thread is intended to indicate in the doc that no standard way exists and to give one way.

??? I can't repeat the problem. Did you remember to change the duration of the grace notes in both staves?
