Subject: New here and first question about using repeat percent over more
than two measures
Hi,
I'm new on this list, though I use Lilypond for several years (but quite
basically) and audio with GNU/Linux for more years.
I present myself: I'm Aurélien, I'm french, work in a french non-profit
production/label/tour agency which produces and tours only free art with
free software.
I play bass, guitar, machines and vocals in the band Sebkha-Chott, and
also play in a musical tales for kids called Sackboutboute.
OK, let's go with my question. As I'm also a bass teacher, I often use
\repeat precent X {} in my scores. Until now, I never had any problem
with this. But now, I've got two charts with stuffs repeating that long
more than two measures. I thought I just could write something like:
\repeat percent X {
<first measure>
<seconde measure>
<third measure>
<fourth measure>
}
but actually, it just prints empy measures in the end. Is there a way to
fix this, or am I trying to do something that doesn't exist, or
shouldn't, or whatever?
Thanks a lot.

See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/short-repeats
You construction is not quite right.
\repeat percent X {
{ first measure | second measure | third measure }
}
Depending on exactly how you want this to work.
The '%' repeat percent just means put a repeat mark inside the measure.
If you wanted to make the thick bar with the two dots, then I am not sure
exactlt what you want but you could
\repeat volta 2 {
{first measure}
{second measure}
{third measure}
}
Which will print three measures in a row with a repeat mark (thick bar with
dots) at either end.
or
\repeat volta 2 {
{first measure}
\repeat volta 2 {
{second measure}
\repeat volta 2 {
{third measure}
}
}
}
which will print each measure with a repeat bar at either end of it (I think).
These kinds of repeats are discussed in
