I want to mark a bar repeated 5 times. What I've often see are the volta marks, with a little number at top of the closing bar stating the number of repeats (e.g. 5x). Why isn't this number automatically placed? How is a player supposed to know how many times a piece of music is supposed to be played without it? Am I missing something?
Example: \repeat volta 5 {hh8 hh hh hh hh hh hh hh}I could use repeat percent, or repeat unfold, but then each bar is "spelled out" and the song takes 4 pages instead of 2.
Thanks, Roberto
