Re: Prevent Repeats in Ossia

[Bobby Smith]

I just realized that I messed up when creating my "tiny example". I accidentally pasted the repeat in front of the ossia. Here is the revised example:

%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.12.3"

\new Staff = main \relative c'' {

c4 b d c

  <<

    \repeat volta 2 { r4 b d c }

    \new Staff \with {

      \remove "Time_signature_engraver"

      alignAboveContext = #"main"

      fontSize = #-3

      \override StaffSymbol #'padding = #-20

      \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)

      \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -3)

      firstClef = ##f

    }

    { e4 d f e }

  >>

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%

If you compile this, you will notice the repeat is also included in the ossia. I've tried several workarounds and they all seem to produce something with it's own flaws (bar lines vanish, staves extend beyond final bar, etc.). I simply want an ossia that doesn't have the repeats. In my real piece, the ossia corresponds to a percussion instrument that is used as a guide throughout the entire piece (e.g. Cuban clave). The fact that it repeats is implicit.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
