The syntax for a normal repeat is
@example
-\repeat @var{variant} @var{repeatcount} @var{repeatbody}
+\repeat volta @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}.
+where @var{repeatbody} is a music expression. Alternate endings can
+be produced using @code{\alternative}.
Normal repeats without alternate endings:
@c Is there a way to have a final bar ("|.") at the end of the
@c previous line? Doesn't seem to be.
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}. See
-@ref{Bar lines} for more information.
+double bar at the end of the previous line, use @code{\bar}. For more
+information, see @ref{Bar lines}.

+By using the @code{unfold} command, repeats can be used to simplify

+@example
+\repeat unfold @var{repeatcount} @var{repeatbody}

+Unfold repeats can be made with or without alternate endings. Unfold
