RE: counter for voltas with no alternative endings?

[Stig Brautaset]

Hi Federico,

Well, I won't try to explain I understand how it works, but I was able
to adapt it to something that gives me the result I want:

\version "2.19.80"
eight = \markup {8.}
\repeat volta 8 {
  %% This numbers the repeat block.
  \set Score.repeatCommands =
  #(list(list 'volta eight) 'start-repeat)
  c1 | d | e | f |
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
}


Regards,

Stig
