A suggestion for the Glossary in the documentation since I just learned that 
percent repeats are called "Faulenzer" in colloquial German after I had sought 
the word in vain in the Lilypond glossary and documentation. Or two 
suggestions, really.

#1. The entry percent repeat 
(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/music-glossary/percent-repeat) 
already mentions that percent repeats are also called simile marks in English. 
Or more precisely percent repeats are repeats notated through simile marks. 
Simile marks are the signs used in percent repeats. I suggest a separate entry 
for "simile mark" with reference to "percent repeat" and/or the other way 
around.

#2 While many (most?) glossary entries give the terms in many languages, the 
percent repeat entry does not, which makes sense. I still suggest that the 
German translation "Faulenzer" be included.

One way could be:

percent repeat
LilyPond-specific term to indicate the repetition of a musical expression 
through simile marks. See (link:) simile mark.

simile mark
D: Faulenzer (colloquial)

Symbol to indicate a percent repeat, the repetition of a musical expression on 
a single staff, as opposed to the more usual definition of repeat, which 
affects all parts. The musical expression can be anything from a single note or 
note pattern to one or more measures. There are other names for this symbol:

repeat entry goes here)
