<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> attempts to be as comfortable to use as standard sheet music.
|
|
This includes <SPAN CLASS="textit">repeats</SPAN> and <SPAN CLASS="textit">endings</SPAN>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
More complex structures like <SPAN CLASS="textit">D.S.</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS="textit">Coda</SPAN>, etc. are
|
|
<SPAN CLASS="textit">not</SPAN> directly supported. But, they are easily simulated with by
|
|
using some simple variables, conditionals and G<SMALL>OTO</SMALL>s. See
|
|
<A HREF="node19.html#sec-variables">Variables</A> for details.
|
|
Often as not, it may be easier to use your editor to cut, paste and
|
|
duplicate. Another, alternate, method of handling complicated repeats
|
|
is to set sections of code in M<SMALL>SET</SMALL> (<A HREF="node19.html#sec-mset">more
|
|
here</A>) variables and simply expand those.
|
|
|
|
<P>

A section of music to be repeated is indicated with a R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>

This works just like standard sheet music. Note that both
|
|
R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>NDING</SMALL> and R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>ND</SMALL> can take an optional argument
|
|
indicating the number of times to use the ending or to repeat the
|
|
block. The effect of an optional count for R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>NDING</SMALL> is
|
|
illustrated in the example, above. The following simple example:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note that the optional argument ``3'' produces a total of three
|
|
copies. The default argument for R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL> is ``2''. Using ``1''
|
|
cancels the R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL> and ``0'' deletes the entire section. Using
|
|
``1'' and ``0'' are useful in setting up Coda sections where you want
|
|
a different count the second time the section is played. Note that the
|
|
count argument can be a macro. Have a look at the sample file
|
|
<TT><SPAN CLASS="textbf">repeats.mma</SPAN></TT> for lots of examples.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Combining optional counts with both R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>NDING</SMALL> and
|
|
R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>ND</SMALL> is permitted. Another example:

<FONT Face="Serif" Color="Navy"><I>MMA</I></FONT> processes repeats by reading the input file and creating
|
|
duplicates of the repeated material. This means that a directive in
|
|
the repeated material would be processed multiple times. Unless you
|
|
know what you are doing, directives should not be inserted in repeat
|
|
sections. Be especially careful if you define a pattern inside a
|
|
repeat. Using T<SMALL>EMPO</SMALL> with a ``+'' or ``-'' will be problematic
|
|
as well.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Repeats can be nested to any level.

Some count values for R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>ND</SMALL> or E<SMALL>ND</SMALL>R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL> and
|
|
R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>NDING</SMALL> will generate a warning message. Using the
|
|
optional text <SPAN CLASS="textit">NoWarn</SPAN> as the first argument will suppress the
|
|
message:

There must be one R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>ND</SMALL> or E<SMALL>ND</SMALL>R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL> for every

R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>. Any number of R<SMALL>EPEAT</SMALL>E<SMALL>NDING</SMALL>s can be included
