@section Repeats
This section discusses how to input long (usually multi-measure)
repeats. The repeats can take two forms: repeats enclosed between
-repeat signs; or written out repeats, used to input repetitious music.
+repeat signs; or written-out repeats, used to input repetitious music.
Repeat signs can also be controlled manually.

+@funindex \inStaffSegno

+The @code{\inStaffSegno} command can be used to place the segno
+symbol in cooperation with the @code{\repeat volta} command.
+Alternative bar line symbols can be set in a Score context by
+overriding the properties @code{segnoType},
+@code{startRepeatSegnoType}, @code{endRepeatSegnoType} or
+@code{doubleRepeatSegnoType} as required.

+In some cases, especially in a @code{\relative} context, the
+@code{\repeat unfold} function is not the same as writing out the
+music expression multiple times. E.g,
+
+@example
+\repeat unfold 2 @{ a'4 b c @}
+@end example
+
+is not equivalent to
+
+@example
+a'4 b c | a'4 b c
+@end example

Unfold repeats can be made with alternate endings.
