The problem of a repeat symbol already has two solutions involving expressions, but are these viable as addional options?
1) Create the symbol as part of the chord library, again using the symbol from the Jazz font in the proper size? This would seem to have the advantage of being able to add the symbol without selecting a different tool to do so.
It's kind of a pain to add just the chord suffix without a chord root. Possible, but kind of a pain. You have to first create the symbol with a "dummy" chord root, then delete the chord root after the fact.
2) Create the symbol as a text repeat, again, using the symbol for the Jazz font? Since the symbol is a repeat, this has, (at least in my opinion) the advantage of keeping the organizational continuity, by keeping the repeats under a single tool.
This isn't as desirable because the repeat tool's auto-positioning is not as sophisticated as the Expression tool's options. Using the expression tool, you can just apply it with a metatool and get perfect positioning every time.
