Repeat of zero (and below)

[pikurasa]

For repeat of less than 1, nothing happens (not even an error message)

This becomes important when using boxes on certain operations.

I was hoping you might have an opinion about this.

Left to my own devices...

"Repeat zero times" means either to skip or to play once (same as repeat = 1). Skipping may be useful in certain situations.

Any negative number is illogical and should trigger an error.

Right now there is no error, so the user needs to hunt around a little bit.

I would prefer that repeat zero skips the track, since that's mathematically appropriate even if it sounds counter-intuitive.

currently , it gives out a no input error message .
@walterbender thoughts ?
repeat 0 --> skip note
repeat -ve --> warning ,works same as repeat 0

[walterbender]

repeat 0 should skip its child flow without an error message. Maybe an error message for < 0???
