Don't forget that it probably isn't obvious to most first time readers that
a tremolo or measure repeat is even considered a repeat, i.e. they won't
look in the section called repeats.
Also, don't forget about \repeat unfold, which actually is very useful
in some circumstances, but perhaps doesn't require a subsection of its own.

Hi Ralph
I'd go for the simpler structure:
1.4 Repeats
1.4.1 Repeat syntax
1.4.2 Normal repeats
1.4.3 Manual repeat commands
1.4.4 Tremolo repeats
1.4.5 Measure repeats
This puts the syntax at the front, as you wanted, and
removes the ugly, somewhat artificial, separation into
Writing repeats and Other repeats. Also removing a level is
good. You could add "Writing" before headings 2-5, to
distinguish them from the syntax section but I don't think
that's necessary.

Subject: GDP: Repeats
Hi, All -
I'm currently working on rewriting Repeats in the Notation
Reference, and I don't care for the existing structure.
Currently, it looks like this:
1.4 Repeats
1.4.1 Writing repeats
1.4.1.1 Repeat syntax
1.4.1.2 Normal repeats
1.4.1.3 Manual repeat commands
1.4.2 Other repeats
1.4.2.1 Tremolo repeats
1.4.2.2 Measure repeats
However, since Repeat syntax discusses the common syntax for
all the repeats, it would seem to make more sense to take it
out of the section dealing with normal. I'd like to suggest:
1.4 Repeats
1.4.1 Repeat syntax
1.4.1.1 Repeat syntax and types of repeats
(introduction of the syntactic construct)
(following types of repetition are supported . . .)
1.4.2 Writing repeats
1.4.2.1 Normal repeats (I'd prefer a better term than
"normal")
1.4.2.2 Manual repeat commands
1.4.2.3 Tremolo repeats
1.4.2.4 Measure repeats
It might also make sense to split 1.4.1.1 into 1.4.1.1
Repeat syntax, followed by 1.4.1.2 Types of repeats
supported.
Comments, please?
Ralph
