Measure repeats

In the percent style, a note pattern can be repeated. It is printed once, and then the pattern is replaced with a special sign. Patterns of a one and two measures are replaced by percent-like signs, patterns that divide the measure length are replaced by slashes.

      \context Voice { \repeat  "percent" 4  { c'4 }
         \repeat "percent" 2 { c'2 es'2 f'4 fis'4 g'4 c''4 }
     }
     
[picture of music]

The signs are represented by these objects: RepeatSlash and PercentRepeat and DoublePercentRepeat .

BUGS

You can not nest percent repeats, e.g. by filling in the first measure with slashes, and repeating that measure with percents.
