Re: \repeat volta > 2

[Mats Bengtsson]

What kind of notation did you expect? As far as I know, there is
no well-established standard notation for repeats that are repeated
more than two times and that don't have any alternative endings.
You could easily add a ^"Repeat 4 times" or whatever in the score.

Still, LilyPond will care about the number when it generates MIDI
if you use the unfold-repeats function (see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#unfold-all-repeats.ly)
Also, the number matters if you use some other option of \repeat,
such as \repeat unfold or \repeat tremolo.
