So how to repeat a command x known number of times in Mel? It is important for me.

You want to look into for loops. Here is a basic loop:

for ($i=0; $i<5; ++$i) {
     print ( "Loop " + $i );
}

$i=0 : Starting value of the loop. 0 is most common
$i<5 : Loop will continue to perform its actions as long as $i is less than 5. If $i is not less than 5, then the for loop stops.
++$i : After each loop, $i gains 1 to its value.
