John Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked "... are nested repeats common in
serious music?..."

Muse allows nested repeats because it fell out of the code and would have
needed extra work to ban them, but I have never seen any music printed to be
played from that actually uses them.  I think it would be a disaster.  Like
John I have heard music go wrong in live performances because musicians
couldn't find the start repeat sign in time.  On some occasions the wrong
notes seemed to be coming from somewhere extremely close to me (at the time
though I was too busy trying to find the repeat sign to pay much attention).
