Repeats
To specify repeats, use the \repeat keyword. Since repeats
should work differently when played or printed, there are a few
different variants of repeats.
- unfold
- Repeated music is fully written (played) out. Useful for MIDI
output, and entering repetitive music.
- volta
- This is the normal notation: Repeats are not written out, but
alternative endings (voltas) are printed, left to right.
- fold
- Alternative endings are written stacked. This has limited use but may be
used to typeset two lines of lyrics in songs with repeats, see
input/star-spangled-banner.ly. - tremolo
- Make tremolo beams.
- percent
- Make beat or measure repeats. These look like percent signs.
