New issue 1409 by v.villenave: Enhancement: printing the repeat count when
no alternatives are present
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1409
As Trevor pointed out, this feature has been requested several times
already.

It would be good to have an optional setting, off by default, which
causes the repeat count in a volta repeat to be printed above the
repeat bar line when no alternatives are present. For example,
\voltaCountOn
\repeat volta 4 { ... }
% no alternatives follow
would print "x4" above the bar line closing the repeat.
James suggested another way of printing this:
"""
I've never seen it done like that but seem to remember a normal volta
bracket on the last measure of the repeated section with '1-4' on it.
"
I've seen both, but the "x4" is indeed commonly used in repetitive music (I
remember seeing it in Reich's Vermont Counterpoint original edition).
