@c Is there a way to have a final bar ("|.") at the end of the
@c previous line? Doesn't seem to be.
+@c It could be done by overriding
+@c the BreakAlignment property. Want a separate example?
If you want to start a repeat at the beginning of a line and have a
double bar at the end of the previous line, use @code{\bar}. For more
information, see @ref{Bar lines}.
@funindex repeatCommands
-In some cases, manual repeat marks can be created by simply
-printing the relevant bar lines. For more information, see
-@ref{Bar lines}.
+@warning{These methods are only used for displaying unusual repeat
+constructs. In most cases, repeats should be created using the
+standard @code{\\repeat} command or by printing the relevant bar
+lines. For more information, see @ref{Bar lines}.}
The property @code{repeatCommands} can be used to control the
layout of repeats. Its value is a Scheme list of repeat commands.
