Re: Shapenote Repeats and Breaks

Tim,

All you need to do is include that code somewhere in your file, and
then use \override in your \global section to activate the code that
Robin wrote. I've attached a file including all the code that I
currently have for Sacred Harp-style repeats.

I'm still working on other details of Sacred Harp-style engraving, but
these repeats go a long way towards making your music look
traditional.
