Of course not, the chord shortcuts are for something else, as Kieren has
explained.  By the way what you ask is already there.

x = #(define-music-function (parser location times music) (number?  
ly:music?)
        (make-repeat "unfold" times music '()))

\x#2 { <c e g>8-. q-^ }

Slightly more verbose than what you propose, and more hackish you  
might say,
but hell, it's gratis.  (P**ain, I should have thought about it sooner.)
