What kind of notation did you expect? As far as I know, there is no well-established standard notation for repeats that are repeated more than two times and that don't have any alternative endings. You could easily add a ^"Repeat 4 times" or whatever in the score.
Still, LilyPond will care about the number when it generates MIDI if you use the unfold-repeats function (see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#unfold-all-repeats.ly) Also, the number matters if you use some other option of \repeat, such as \repeat unfold or \repeat tremolo.

Hello all!
When I do something like:
\repeat volta 4 { <some lilypond music here> }
With no alternative endings.
The repeat marks appear in the output but with NO INDICATION what so ever that the repeat should happen 4. times. Does lilypond just junk away the number given after volta ?
Cheers, Mark.
