Sorry for the late response. Using \bar ".|:-||” accomplished what I needed, albeit confusingly. Since the II precedes the .|: on the output PDF, why isn’t the correct syntax for this command \bar “||-.|:” ? I had actually tried this because \bar ".|:-||” is counterintuitive, and I didn’t try that because it seemed backwards.
I did not try the example with \section and \repeat, because I wasn’t using \repeat in the first place. This is a simple one page lead sheet without alternates, just repeated a set number of times. I will look into the \section command as that seems quite useful for future reference. Thank you!
