Comment #6 on issue 3639 by address@hidden: tuplet of a single chord gives a  
syntax error

Unfortunately, "reveal its type in the first token" is not an automatic  
advantage since optional arguments are checked by calling predicates.  So  
you still need to make an explicit syntax rule and testing expression for  
every possible "revealed in the first token" argument.  It's become easier  
and more reliable to do, but it's still a chore.  It does not even need to  
be "revealed in the first token": it's just that at the point you make a  
decision, the information gathered so far must be compressible into a  
single token (a MARKUP_IDENTIFIER usually compresses quite more than a  
single token).  And you may invent synthetic tokens not naturally occuring  
in the input for that as long as you teach other parts of the parser how to  
deal with them.

So it's all manageable but tiresome.  I'll take a look at the \repeat  
thing: it's probably doable by _not_ looking at potential \alternative  
before making a decision.
