MarvinSketch : Repeating units with repetition ranges

A sequence of ranges to specify the repetition can also be used in a special group called repeating unit with repetition ranges.

For example: 

Here the repetition range is "3,5-7". The repetition count for the included structure can be: 3,5,6 or 7.

Syntax of the repetition ranges

The repetition ranges consist of ranges separated by commas. A range can be either a simple non-negative number (e.g. 3) or two non-negative numbers separated by "-" (e.g. 5-7).
