Hello!

For some reason, multiplication only works on full-measure rests
and silent rests.

It would be nice to make it work on notes, chords and all kinds of
rests.  For short repetitions, \repeat unfold is an overkill, which
doesn't make the source shorter:

There were already some (intense?) discussion about this.
See issue #1067, which is AFAICS the same request as yours.

Graham said he added it to the list of things to discuss in GLISS.

Thanks!  I looked for possible existing issues but missed that one.

In case you did not know, there is already a "shortcut syntax" when
repeating the same chord: 'q'

  <c e g>4 q q q

That's really valuable! I'm going to banish all short repeats in the score I'm working on! Perhaps it should be mentioned in the documentation under "repeats". I looked here and could not find it:
