I have also needed "special" repeat behaviour. I thought that my solution
was too messy to post, but since M Taupin has said it cannot be done,
maybe this will be better than nothing:)
First, I define the repeat characters:
%%%
\def\keychar#1{{\musickeyfont\char#1}}% from later versions of
MusiX
%
% first a ``normal'' left-right repeat symbol
%
\def\lrrpt{\hbox{\keychar{126}\kern1pt% two dots
\vrule height20pt width 3.2pt\kern1.8pt% heavy rule
\vrule height20pt width 3.2pt\kern1pt% heavy rule, and
\keychar{126}}} two dots
%
% then a version without the dots
% use \phantom{dots} to keep same width as \lrrpt
%
\def\lrrptx{\hbox{\phantom{\keychar{126}\kern1pt}%
\vrule height20pt width 3.2pt\kern1.8pt%
\vrule height20pt width 3.2pt\kern1pt%
\phantom{\keychar{126}}}}
%
% and an extra tall version for F clef
%
\def\lrrptt{\hbox{\phantom{\keychar{126}\kern1pt}%
\vrule height36pt width 3.2pt\kern1.8pt%
\vrule height36pt width 3.2pt\kern1pt%
\phantom{\keychar{126}}}}
%%%
and then, immediately after the \xbarre, add
%%%
\addspace{-1.7\afterruleskip}%
\znotes\lrrptx&\lrrptx&\lrrptt&\lrrpt\enotes
\addspace{1.7\afterruleskip}%
%%%
This gave me successful results with your example, but will probably not
align properly in the general case without changing some of the constants.
