The main problem with this approach is that the musical output is
incorrect -- `chording' the global section with the individual parts
makes the output *look* right without acutally *being* right.

Try, e.g., 

global= { \time 4/4 \key es \major \repeat volta 2 {
        s1*2 } }

notes =\relative c' { es4 f es f | es f es f }
\score {
        \unfoldRepeats \context Staff << \global \notes >>
        \midi{}
        \layout{}
}
