See also #9670, Tools > Unroll repeats is currently (and still) not available in Mu4

That issue is locked too, and I'd happy to put my hand to finish off what I'd started with it (well, I'll have to start again as I lost the branch...)

However I don't really understand the point of this particular issue - my question would be why is "expand repeats" even an option for export MIDI, it isn't for export mp3 etc. - but I accept that you may simply wish to use MIDI as a format to capture just the semantic info around notes (pitches/durations etc.) and anything else will have to be re-done by hand in whatever other tool you're importing into. At any rate, the "unroll repeats" command is obviously different, I don't see a huge issue with using a different verb.

Yes, I believe expand repeats should be an option for all audio formats, but is esp. needed for MIDI, to communicate to MIDI devices
