Well, we can't help a user who doesn't search the table of contents or index for "tremolo".
It just occurred to me that we could probably remove "repeat syntax" entirely with no ill effects: 1.4.1 Repeating phrases 1.4.1.1 Normal (volta) repeats 1.4.1.2 Written out repeats %% note that volta and unfold are the only ones that \alternative %% can be used for 1.4.1.3 Manual repeat commands 1.4.2 Repeating notes 1.4.2.1 Tremolo 1.4.2.2 Measure Given the wide variety in applications, I don't see the value of trying to have a general syntax subsubsection.
