The only piece I've used them in was as an exercise in writing code
that would generate a correctly notated score containing repeats, but
would also generate correctly repeating MIDI output from the same code
merely by adding \unfoldRepeats. I started a thread about the problem:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-09/msg00499.html
but I don't remember how the thread evolved, if at all.

Suffice it to say, I don't make a habit of this, preferring to set the
score and the MIDI separately. Attached is the code I came up with.
To compile it properly, you'd need some library files. "Midi-satb.lily"
is the boilerplate code to produce MIDI "teach tapes" for each part.
The attached score used the unmangled source, with \unfoldRepeats
commented out, and the libraries included of course.

(I'd have to read it in its new incarnation.)

Cheers,
