I'm afraid I'll have to stick with 1.2.17: \repetitions is indispensable
for my music typesetting. By the way, the implementation in 1.2.17 is
perfectly acceptable for me, the only improvements I would like to have
is the quarter note repetition symbol, which could probably be implmented
with something as simple as \quarter_repetition which would simply print
the fat slash.
