Hi Jim,

I think, this is because there are commonly used symbols in the percent
repeat style for repeating exactly one measure (°/.) and for repeating
exactly two measures (°//.). But not for three or more measures. It is
usually used for short patterns and not for parts longer than 2
measures. So there is no sign for that. One could invent °///. and so
on, but at some point a volta repeat would make it more readable.

By the way \repeat percent 4 R2. doesn't work either with a 4/4 metre,
because it is not a full measure.

Is that an answer to your question?

Joram
