#### 3.8.3 Manual repeat commands

The property `repeatCommands` can be used to control the layout of repeats. Its value is a Scheme list of repeat commands, where each repeat command can be

the symbol `start-repeat`,
  which prints a `|:` bar line,
the symbol `end-repeat`,
  which prints a `:|` bar line,
the list `(volta` text`)`,
  which prints a volta bracket saying text: The text can be specified as a text string or as a markup text, see Text markup. Do not forget to change the font, as the default number font does not contain alphabetic characters. Or,
the list `(volta #f)`, which
  stops a running volta bracket

>          c4
>            \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "93") end-repeat)
>          c4 c4
>            \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
>          c4 c4
