so basically that paragraph is telling me to NOT use
the manual repeat barlines and use \repeat volta instead.
The documentation uses a lot of different names for repeats.
When you say "manual repeat barlines" it sounds as though
you may not be distinguishing
- manual barlines (inserted using \bar)
- manual repeats (inserted using \set Score.repeatCommands)
When BarLines says "various repeat commands"
the partially-initiated might think this means using the command
"\repeat" in its several variations such as "volta", "unfold", etc.
But I think it is referring to NR 1.4.1.[1] Specifically, the two sections on
- Normal repeats [2], which are applied to { ... }
- Manual repeat marks, which are inserted inline where branching can occur.
So instead of "manual barlines", have a look at "manual repeats".
[1] http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Long-repeats
[2] aka "standard", and maybe thought of as "automatic" because not "manual".
