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.
Have you tried Type Into Score, simply typing :75 WITHOUT typing a root (where 75 is the slot number of the suffix?) I use this for NC, among other things.
My bigger problem with this solution is that it is harder to place it correctly in the measure. You would have to have an entry on beat 3 to attach it to, which makes it more of a kludge than a simple text expression would be.
I know Crystal didn't ask, but I would question the need to put a repeat sign for a chord symbol only. It is standard to the idiom that a chord symbol continues exerting its influence until it is changed or cancelled by an "NC" (no chord), unless the system changes, in which case you put in the chord again.
