Repeat in mid-bar

[Dirk Laurie]

I was trying to typeset a piece that starts with an upbeat and has two
verses and a little coda.  The upbeat to the coda is not the same as
to the verse.  It seemed logical to put a repeat sign at the end of
the verse, one beat before the end of the measure.  Saves me a volta.
PMX doesn't like the idea much.  I can fool it with blind meter changes,
but ...

Question:

Is it a reprehensible thing to try?  I.e. does good typesetting style
require me to use voltas instead?
