I suppose this problem arises since the repeat sign is moreso part of the
staff than a text colon.

you could scale the entire staff to the desired size and avoid fiddling
with the font.

I also removed two levels of nesting unnecessary for this demo, the  {
\relative a' { } }

Nice work on your site.  Any chance of seeing Dusty Miller up there?


\version "2.14.2"

#(set-global-staff-size 60)

\score {
    \new ChordNames \with {
        \override BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-1 . 1)
        \override ChordName #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1)
        \consists "Bar_engraver"
    }
    \chordmode {
        \partial 4  s4
        \repeat volta 2 { a1 g c a  }
    }
}
