#### 6.7.1 Repeat types

The following types of repetition are supported

`unfold`
  Repeated music is fully written (played) out. This is useful when entering repetitious music. This is the only kind of repeat that is included in MIDI output.
`volta`
  Repeats are not written out, but alternative endings (volte) are printed, left to right with brackets. This is the standard notation for repeats with alternatives. These are not played in MIDI output by default.
`tremolo`
  Make tremolo beams. These are not played in MIDI output by default.
`percent`
  Make beat or measure repeats. These look like percent signs. These are not played in MIDI output by default. Percent repeats must be declared within a Voice context.
