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.
