I've not used LP for a while but in coming back to it I've been struggling with repeats and find that this 'preferred syntax' does not seem to work in that it produces:
Starting lilypond 2.20.0 [test2.ly]...
Processing `/Volumes/Pegasus32R6/Music-100/Music-Lilypond/Songs/Our-Shangri-La/test2.ly'
Parsing...
/Volumes/Pegasus32R6/Music-100/Music-Lilypond/Songs/Our-Shangri-La/test2.ly:6:10: error: syntax error, unexpected \alternative
...
\version "2.20.0"
{
\fixed c'' {
\repeat volta 6 {
c4 d e f
\alternative {
\volta 1,2,3 { c2 e }
\volta 4,5 { f2 d }
\volta 6 { e2 f }
} }
c1 }
}
However, the old style of specifying \alternative does seem to work. Am I doing something wrong here?
Mahalo.

Running under 2.23.6, I see no problem. Have you tried anything later than 2.20.0?
All the best,
Ralph
