Though volte are best specified using @code{\\repeat volta}, the
context property @code{repeatCommands} must be used in cases where the
volta text needs more advanced formatting with @code{\\markup}.


Since @code{repeatCommands} takes a list, the simplest method of
including markup is to use an identifier for the text and embed it in
the command list using the Scheme syntax @code{#(list (list 'volta
textIdentifier))}. Start- and end-repeat commands can be added as
separate list elements:
