New issue 1801 by [email protected]: Clarify "\repeat unfold" in the
documentation
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1801
As reported by Patrick Karl and discussed here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-08/msg00096.html
The documentation of \repeat unfold should be clarified a little bit.
When reading (NR 1.4.1 (Long repeats) section "written-out repeats)
"repeats can be used to simplify the writing out of repetitious music"
One can be lead to expect that the \repeat unfold construct is equivalent
to write out an expression multiple times, so that (in a \relative context)
\repeat unfold 2 { a' b c }
would be equivalent to
{ a' b c } { a' b c }
- which it isn't.
The current behaviour of LilyPond isn't in question, so it is a
documentation issue.
This should be clarified somehow, but unfortunately I don't see the forest
for the trees and am thus momentarily unable to make a usable documentation
suggestion
