Re: Repeats

[Mats Bengtsson]

Don't forget that it probably isn't obvious to most first time readers that
a tremolo or measure repeat is even considered a repeat, i.e. they won't
look in the section called repeats.
Also, don't forget about \repeat unfold, which actually is very useful
in some circumstances, but perhaps doesn't require a subsection of its own.
