Re: skip-of-length and \unfoldRepeats

[Valentin Petzel]

I’m sorry if this has come across in the wrong way. English is not my native 
language, so sometime I do not get the tone right and sound ruder than I 
intended. I did by no means indent to reprimand you for your legitimate 
question.

With the amazing Jean’s comment #skip-of-length should probably loose all use 
from a users perspective, as the \skip \music command is easier to use and 
more stable (this one basically does exactly what I said previously: It 
creates a SkipMusic event which takes the provided music as it’s element. Thus 
music functions like unfoldRepeats can still access this music as the skip is 
only created during translation (at which point all music functions are 
already evaluated)).

Cheers,
Valentin
