Strictly speaking, Score.repeatCommands isn't a text context property,
since it takes a list, though it appears from older docs that it used
to work with markup.

This wouldn't work in any case, since you'd have to use scheme markup,

#'((volta (markup "markup")))

though this still doesn't work for some reason; in the Volta_engraver,
start_string_ is set to the markup, but the volta never gets started.
