Double bar line suppresses following repeat bar line

[Patrick or Cynthia Karl]

The following snippet:

\version "2.18.0"

music = \relative b' {
\repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 3 { c4 c c c } }
\alternative {
{ c1 }
{ g1 }
}

% \bar "||"

\break

\repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 5 { a4 a a a } }
}

\score {
\new Staff \music
\layout {}
}

places a simple single bar line at the end of the 2nd alternative. My client wishes it to be a double bar line instead. I can do that by uncommenting the "\bar "||" line, but that has the unfortunate side effect of eliminating the initial repeat bar line of the following section.

Is there a way to place a double bar line at the end of the 1st line without interfering with the repeat bar line that follows?

Use \bar ".|:-||" instead

You'll need to define an appropriate bartype and code it at the appropriate place, like this:

\defineBarLine "||.|:" #'("||" ".|:" "")

music = \relative b' {
\repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 3 { c4 c c c } }
\alternative {
{ c1 }
{ g1 \bar "||.|:" }
}

% \bar "||"

\break

\repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 5 { a4 a a a } }
}

\score {
\new Staff \music
\layout {}
}

More details are a little way down this section:

\defineBarLine "||.|:" #'("||" ".|:" "")

No need for that, ".|:-||" is predefined already.
