Description
The beat-repeat type is used to indicate that a single beat (but possibly many notes) is repeated. Both the start and stop of the beat being repeated should be specified. The beat-repeat element specifies a notation style for repetitions. The actual music being repeated needs to be repeated within the MusicXML file. This element specifies the notation that indicates the repeat.
