The repeated music is not written out but enclosed between repeat bar
lines. If the repeat is at the beginning of a piece, a repeat bar
-line is only printed at the endof the repeat. Alternative endings

(volte) are printed left to right with brackets. This is the standard
notation for repeats with alternatives.
