In my opinion, the tone of your addition is more "Learning Manual" than
"Notation Reference".
I disagree with the idea that the simplest solution is to move the \relative
outside the \repeat. This changes the music.
Consider
\relative c' {
\repeat unfold 2 {
c d e f g
}
}
as opposed to
\repeat unfold 2 {
\relative c' {
c d e f g
}
}
The notes will be different in these two cases.
I think the simplest solution is to explicitly declare the Voice:
\context Voice {
\repeat unfold 2 {
\relative c' {
c2 d
}
}
}
works just fine. And this is a *consistent* solution. Any time unexpected
staffs show up, the solution is to explicitly declare a Voice or a Staff.
SO I'd prefer to just teach the simple solution, and I'd probably move it to
the Troubleshooting section. I don't think it's worth a section in repeats,
when the problem occurs in other places as well.
Perhaps we need a (sub)section in Notation on implicit Staff and Voice
creation that explains the LilyPond constructs that cause implicit Staff
creation so that users can know what to look for.
Thanks,
Carl
