What are the "rules" for repeats?

[Jim Sabatke]

I've been coding a program to convert BMW bagpipe music 
files into lilypond format.  I've followed repeat examples 
and am have not been using \repeat for repeated sections 
that do not have alternative endings.

What is the "approved" format for using repeats?

Thanks,
