Re: lead sheet chords position with \alternative

[Mats Bengtsson]

This clearly looks like a bug. The difference between the following two
scores illustrates how the second alternative begins too early when
the voltas are moved to the chords. The same bug happens in both
versions 2.4.5 and 2.5.19.

\score {
    <<
  \new ChordNames \chordmode {
     c1 c b
  }
  \new Staff {
   \repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative {{ c' } {b} }
  }
>>
}

% The beginning of the secunda volta is horizontally misplaced:
\score {
    <<
  \new ChordNames \with {
      voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
  } \chordmode {
     c1 c b
  }
  \new Staff \with {
      voltaOnThisStaff = ##f
  }  {
   \repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative {{ c' } {b} }
  }
>>
}
