useless "2x" repeat indication

I was surprised with one point: I want to repeat twice a couple of measures and used the corresponding delimiters. I was really surprised to see the indication "2x" above the "close repeat" marker. In my opinion, it's wrong: I've never seen any score with such a "2x" indication. The number indication is written ONLY if this part has to be repeated more than twice. The indicators ||: and :|| means per default "repeat twice" and are enough for that. Just as example: a screenshot from tabledit: http://www.tabledit.com/images/carbon.gif thanks

Usually the number above the repeat mark is the number of times to play the part, not the number of replays. So more clearly: |: :| play it twice (replay once) 4x |: :| play it 4 times (replay 3 times) I believe the current notation of tuxGuitar is not conventional, a bit unexpected. thanks!
