Chris,

If I were structuring a song as you described, I would NOT use the first
"\repeat volta 3", unless EVERYTHING were supposed to repeat. Here's how I
would do it:

%<--------------------- SNIP

\relative c' {
  % first interlude
  c d e f
  
  % start repeated verses
  \repeat volta 2 {
    c d e f
  }
  \alternative {
    { f e d c }
    { g' a b c }
  }
  
  % second interlude
  c c b a

  % final verse
  g e c c
}

%<--------------------- SNIP

I get no errors with this, but is that not what you're after? Maybe I'm
misunderstanding something...

- Abraham
