+@subheading Simple repeats
+
+Repeats in @emph{music} are fully described elsewhere; see
+@ref{Repeats}.  This section explains how to add lyrics to repeated
+sections of music.
+
+Lyrics to a volta repeat can be written exactly as if the music was
+not repeated, if the words are unchanged.

+        Re -- peat -- ed twice.
+      }
+    }
+  >>
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+But if an unfold repeat is used, both the lyrics and the music must
+be repeated (assuming the repeated words are the same), otherwise
+the repeated section will have no lyrics.

+      \new Voice = "melody" {

+        \repeat unfold 2 { Re -- peat -- ed twice. }
+      }
+    }
+  >>
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+If the repeated section has different words and is unfolded simply
+enter all the words:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right]
+\score {
+  <<
+    \new Staff {
+      \new Voice = "melody" {
+        \relative c'' {
+          a4 a a a
+          \repeat unfold 2 { b4 b b b }
+        }

+    }
+    \new Lyrics {
+      \lyricsto "melody" {
+        Not re -- peat -- ed.
+        The first time words.
+        Sec -- ond time words.
+      }
+    }
+  >>
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+When the words to a repeated volta section are different the words
+to each repeat must entered in separate @code{Lyrics} contexts.
+Earlier unrepeated sections must be skipped in the second and
+subsequent repeats.  The easiest way to skip several notes is to
+use @code{\repeat unfold} around the @code{\skip}.
+
+@warning{The @code{\skip} command must be followed by a number,
+but this number is ignored in lyric mode.  Each @code{\skip} skips
+a single note of any value, irrespective of the value of the
+following number.}

+      }

+
+An alternative way, which avoids having to count notes, is to use a
+temporary voice for the repeated section.  This may be useful if
+the earlier sections are still subject to change.  A temporary voice
+can be inserted anywhere in the main music stream in parallel with
+it, as shown below, but it may be necessary to keep the main voice
+alive in complex scores when using this technique; see
+@ref{Keeping contexts alive}.
