+Slurs that span from a @code{\repeat} block into an
+@code{\alternative} block will only work for the first alternative
+ending. The visual appearance of a continuing slur in other
+alternative blocks may be simulated with @code{\repeatTie} if the
+slur extends into only one note in the alternative block, although
+this method does not work in @code{TabStaff}. Other methods which
+may be tailored to indicate continuing slurs over several notes in
+alternative blocks, and which also work in @code{TabStaff} contexts,
+are shown in @ref{Modifying ties and slurs}.
+
+Also, slurs cannot wrap around from the end of one
+alternative back to the beginning of the repeat.
+
+Glissandi that span from a @code{\repeat} block into an
+@code{\alternative} block will only work for the first alternative
+ending. The visual appearance of a continuing glissando in other
+alternative blocks may be indicated by coding a glissando starting
+on a hidden grace note. For an example, see
+@qq{Extending glissandi across repeats} under Selected Snippets
+in @ref{Glissando}.
+
+If a repeat that begins with an incomplete measure has an
+@code{\alternative} block that contains modifications to the
+@code{measureLength} property, using @code{\unfoldRepeats} will
+result in wrongly-placed bar lines and bar check warnings.
