In itself that doesn't say enough as there is no header given.

If there a line in the header saying

  P:ABAB

then that will be played as if written

%A
[V:V1] C G C
[V:V2] E B E
%B
[V:V1] A E A
[V:V2] C G C
%A
[V:V1] C G C
[V:V2] E B E
%B
[V:V1] A E A
[V:V2] C G C

(and perhaps staff notation programs might implement such unrolling
as an option, it isn't purely a playback issue).

BarFly doesn't do this correctly yet, but in effect each part needs to
be interpreted as if it were a different tune, assembled into a medley
under the control of the P: header line.  There will be some funnies
if global properties like key are reassigned within a part.
