I'm sorry if this has been asked before in some other way I could not
quite figure out.
I'm a bit new at both lilypond and music notation in general... my
excuse? I'm a drummer.
I want to mark a bar repeated 5 times. What I've often see are the volta
marks, with a little number at top of the closing bar stating the number
of repeats (e.g. 5x). Why isn't this number automatically placed? How is
a player supposed to know how many times a piece of music is supposed to
be played without it? Am I missing something?
Example:
\repeat volta 5 {hh8 hh hh hh hh hh hh hh}
I could use repeat percent, or repeat unfold, but then each bar is
"spelled out" and the song takes 4 pages instead of 2.
Thanks,
Roberto
