The text already says

Repeats with upbeats can be entered in two ways:

What else would you propose?  (or are you looking at something
else?)

Yes, we spent a lot of time on this point already.

- we only allow subsubsections; no subsubsubsections.
- for purely aesthetic reasons, I dislike having a subsection with
  a single subsubsection.

If I were willing to relax #2, I suppose we could have one
subsection with the 4 main subsubsections, then a final subsection
containing "manual repeat marks".  I won't throw a fit if I happen
to look at the lilypond docs a year from now and discover that
somebody's done this, but for now I'd rather keep it as is and
move on with other matters.
