Comment #2 on issue 3150 by [email protected]: oversight in repeats.itely with old bar-line-glyphs
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3150

git grep "|:" doesn't show it.

It does here, but then I use bash as my shell.  With
git grep '"|:"'
I don't get to see it, obviously.

Frankly, I don't think we are doing people a favor with ".|:" exactly because it is an exclusively glyph-induces statement about the bar line rather than a logical one. There is no section ending before and after every repeat logically. Nobody views a repeat sign in that manner, and if you write out, say, lyrics with repetition, you'd write

|: I love you, :|: again and again :|.

And you would not realize that the last bar is what you see in mid-song also. Or is it?
