I've already provided a fix for this code. Didn't you receive
that message? It's archived here:

What do you mean? Something like

\relative {
  \repeat unfold 2 { c' g' }
}

gives the attached output. As you can see, notes are made
relative in order without taking the repeat into account,
so both repeats play at the same octave. This is not
equivalent to

\relative {
  c' g' c' g'
}

Best,
