Thank you, David and Simon,
I see there's no straightforward solution, so I'll stick with the standard
syntax.
best wishes,

I can understand that wish, but if I may give some advice from
experience: even if it’s partially possible, it’s generally better to
not abbreviate and stay with standard syntax.
It’s easier to mainta
How about \repeat volta 2 { c1 d1 e1 \alternative {{d1} {f1}} }? IMO,
that makes more sense both syntactically and semantically - the way I
see it, that example is four measures repeated, with the last measure
being different. With the current syntax, it's three measures repeated,
and... wtf is

Because there isn't a complete music expression following.

If you're using 2.19, you might be able to use `thrice = \repeat unfold
3 \etc`. Otherwise, you'll have to use the explicit version.
