Re: \repeat volta 2 + two blocks in \alternative = More alternatives than repeats?

[William Rehwinkel]

Hey Kevin,

I identified that this was due to the measure mark "|" you inserted on 
line 31

\alternative {
    { c4.( c8) e16[ f16] }
    { c4.( c4.) } |
  }

Since this was outside of the second block, it was interpreted as a 
third block, thus lilypond had three alternative blocks.

You may also want to double-check the first alternative block, it is a 
partial measure, but the repeated section starts on the downbeat instead 
of starting on the pickup to measure one.

Thanks,
-Will
