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

This looks like it needs an overhaul. I'd suggest you went for:
1. Writing Repeats
1. Types of Repeat Supported
(following types of repeat are supported and what
they mean, don't describe how this is implemented in the syntax yet)
1. Section repeats - covering several bars/measures
( i.e. ||: | | | | | :|| )
1. Simple section repeats
2. Section repeats with varying endings
2. One-and two bar/measure repeats
(repeating a single bar/measure)
(repeating a two-bar phrase)
3. Single-note repeats/measure
(tremolos)
4. Manual repeats to save typing
(no special notation produced, just the sequence of notes
printed however many times)
2. Syntax of repeat command
(structure this like the previous section, but show what you
code with \repeat to achieve this, and the output)
1. Section repeats - covering several bars/measures
1. Simple section repeats
2. Section repeats with varying endings
2. One-and two bar/measure repeats
(repeating a single bar/measure)
(repeating a two-bar phrase)
3. Single-note repeats/measure
(tremolos)
4. Manual repeats to save typing
(no special notation produced, just the sequence of
notes printed however many times)
(Please note I couldn't reproduce the structured headings in my mail
client, but I meain 1.4 Writing Repeats, 1.4.1 Types of Repeats
Supported, 1.4.1.1 Section Repeats etc.)
Cheers,
Ian Hulin
