continuation bars

[Steve Downes]

Hello list people,

I have started writing bass line  chord charts to assist in the
integration of a new bass player. I would like to make a good job of
it because if it works well I will build it into a band library.

It is normal in my (jazz) market to use % in a bar to mean repeat
previous bar  also across the middle barline to mean repeat the
previous 2 bars. I can see a number of problems, not least the use of
%  can find nothing on it.

Has it been done or can it reasonably be done. Any points very
welcome.

Steve

Hi Steve,

what you probably are looking for is the \repeat command:

{
  \repeat percent 3 { c'2 d' }
  \repeat percent 3 { c' d' e' f' }
}

This can be found in section 1.4 of the notation reference 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/repeats).

Both types of percent repeats are implemented and available.  See
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/short-repeats#percent-repeats

or, if you're using the stable releases, see
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/short-repeats#percent-repeats

(they're both the same)
