Simile marks

[stolz]

I have a problem with simile marks in EasyABC 1.3.5. The purpose is to have sheets like this:

instead of:

I have found the way to use simile marks with "[I:repeat]" operator: http://abcnotation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=89

The following code produce sheets exactly what I need:

X:1
K:C
| cdef | [I:repeat] cdef |

Unfortunately, the multiple voice code doesn't work:

X:1
K:C
%%staves (1 2)
V:1
| cdef | [I:repeat] cdef |
V:2
| CDEF | [I:repeat] CDEF |

The result is warnings:

Warning in line 11.7: Other voice in measure to repeat
Warning in line 9.20: Other voice in measure to repeat

Is there any way to properly use simile marks with multiple voices?

Hello stolz,

The repeat mark was not drawn exactly right by EasyABC in 1.3.7.4 but this is fixed in version 1.3.7.5.

Well, you could use a more recent version of EasyABC instead of 1.3.5 which is a little outdated.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/easyabc/files/EasyABC/
The latest version is 1.3.7.4 and is bundled with the latest version of abcm2ps.

I tried your example and did not get the warnings you described so the newer version of abcm2ps has solved that issue. The repeat mark is not drawn exactly right by EasyABC (4 dots instead of 2). I will try to figure out why.

Now it is possible to use simile marks with multiple voices with EasyABC 1.3.7.5 2016-08-09

Note, the following code doesn't work properly:

X:1
K:C
%%staves (1 2)
V:1
| cdef | cdef | [I:repeat 2] cdef | cdef |
V:2
| CDEF | CDEF | [I:repeat 2] CDEF | CDEF |

P.S. Is there any documentation on [I:repeat]?

Hello stolz,

You can find information on 'repeat' at the website of Jef Moine, the developer of abcm2ps. Jef can probably fix the issue you mentioned.
