In earlier versions of LilyPond I avoided the use of \repeat percent 2 {} syntax by overwriting the stencil for a whole bar rest:
\version "2.20.0" { c c c c \once \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil = #ly:multi-measure-rest::percent \once \override MultiMeasureRest #'thickness = #0.48 R1*4/4 } The stencil ly:multi-measure-rest::percent has gone in versin 2.24 and I see that the symbol ly:percent-repeat-interface::percent at the same place in the source code. However this results in the "%" glyph not being centered as was the old one: \version "2.24.0" { c c c c \once \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil = #ly:percent-repeat-interface::percent \once \override MultiMeasureRest #'thickness = #0.48 R1*4/4 } Is there an easy fix - the extra-offset needed varies according to the width of the bar...
