Is this still the only option?
I'm trying to typeset something like the score shown in
<http://youtu.be/xucuWOMmPio>. Below is a cut-down version of a source
file that seems to accomplish this result. To my (beginner's) eye, this
looks kind of messy. But is there a better way?

\version "2.16.2"
\score {

\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "2.--3."))
