We can simplify this by using the repeat function:

Here’s how you would use repeat instructions to advantage in this example:
1. At step 1, press REPEAT. The right-hand display shows
┼
the begin repeat
sign. Press ENTER to enter this step into the SP-12’s memory. Note that the
SP-12, being such an intelligent fellow, will automatically insert the right kind
of repeat mark -- if there is no begin repeat instruction in the song, it will insert
a begin repeat command when you press REPEAT; if a begin repeat already
exists, then the SP-12 will give you an end repeat command when you press
REPEAT.
2. At step 2, key in the segment number, then press ENTER to enter this step
into the SP-12’s memory.
3. At step 3, press REPEAT; the display’s lower line will show the
┼
end repeat
sign and the default setting of 02 repeats, with a flashing cursor under the first
digit.
4. Specify the number of times you want the repeat to occur. This can be done
with the keypad, or you can increment the default setting with the Right Arrow
key or decrement the default setting with the Left Arrow key. In this example,
you would key in 04. Leading zeroes must be entered for single-digit repeat
numbers. Finally, press ENTER to enter the number of repeats into the SP-
12’s memory.
5. Enter segments 62, 63, 67, and 68 as described in Section 3C.
6. When you reach step 8, press REPEAT. The display’s lower line will show a
begin repeat symbol.
7. Enter segments 65, 66, 67, and 68.
