Hm, ok. Considering the typical length of bars, there will not be much of an incentive to use repeats for less than a measure's length anyway. It's probably more a phenomenon in shorthand. I can imagine that it might possibly be seen more often in, say, jazz sheets (which visually take much more of a cue from handwriting) rather than classical scores. But those might possibly omit the thick line anyway. Is it all too obvious that I'm just fumbling in the dark? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
