Re: Repeat midi using "repeat volta"

[Mats Bengtsson]

For some reason, it seems you have to explicitly specify a context
for the music. Try:

\score {
\new Staff{ \unfoldRepeats \pentatonic }
\midi { \tempo 4 = 120 }
}

or

\score {
\new Voice{ \unfoldRepeats \pentatonic }
\midi { \tempo 4 = 120 }
}
