-FIXME: this example needs to go by itself.
-@verbatim
+The syntax for a normal repeat is
+
+@example
+\repeat @var{variant} @var{repeatcount} @var{repeatbody}
+@end example
+
+where @var{variant} is @qq{volta} and @var{repeatbody} is a music
+expression. Alternate endings can be produced using
+@code{\alternative}.

+Normal repeats without alternate endings:
