@cindex repeats, written-out
By using the @code{unfold} command, repeats can be used to simplify

@cindex percent repeats
@cindex measure repeats
-A note pattern can be repeated with the @code{\repeat percent
-@var{number}} syntax. The music is printed once, and the pattern
-is replaced with a special sign. Patterns of one and two measures
-are replaced by percent-like signs, patterns that divide the
-measure length are replaced by slashes. Percent repeats must be
-declared within a @code{Voice} context.
+Repeated short patterns of notes are also supported. The music is
+printed once, and the pattern is replaced with a special sign.
+Patterns of one and two measures are replaced by percent-like signs,
+patterns that are shorter than onee measure are replaced by slashes.
+Percent repeats must be declared within a @code{Voice} context. The

+@example
+@code{\repeat percent @var{number} @var{repeatbody}}
