Looking at this, it's pretty easy to make it work however we want - so the question is, exactly what do we want?

The current code looks for the end of the measure - which includes the courtesy elements - then moves the end of the volta back 0.5sp. This is OK for double barlines or repeat barlines that are not followed by courtesy elements, butlooking at Elaine Gould's "Behind Bars", it looks like she prefers to align her volta endings with the bar line, period. So for single barlines, the volta lines up with that barline. For double barlines and end repeat barlines (including end-start repeats), the volta lines up with the leftmost barline. I can fix it to be consistent with Gould:

Any objections?
