Grouping of values + part-measure repeat + eighth

[Chris Clemens]

Can grouping (e.g. 16ths) be used when a repeat follows, even though an 8th follows the repeat? It isn't clear whether the Code is referring to braille symbols or print.

Amazing! This question must not have occurred to the authors of the code or the editors of the De Garmo. The part-measure repeat sign clearly defines the meaning of the pseudo-eighth notes of the group, so I see no reason not to group before the repeat even if the next note is a true eighth. In any particular instance, try it out and see if you can detect any ambiguity. If you can misunderstand, don't group in that case. I tried a number of hypothetical circumstances and couldn't find any such ambiguities.

I'll add this to the things to consider in updating the code.
