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.
