In lack of an image... in Lilypond: \repeat "percent" If your rythm is just one measure, and your fill is in measure 8, then you would (normally) want measure repeat notation. (an option could expand it so it's written out in the notation). > While I'm asking questions -- do you think one ever finds situations in > which one part needs to have a repeat (or related thing) while other > parts do not?

Syncing repeat in different tracks is indeed a problem. I've been thinking about this. Of course a global control-flow definition/editor would center all this one place. However... It might be possible to do without, if you just go by the paradigm that all repeat functionality should result in shadows of the repeated segments. In that way the segment canvas would still just show a linear timeflow. So to the question of whether you could need repeats in some tracks but not others. Yes... it could be. Especially if you mix tracks for orchestra voices with other segments, (audio samples?) Howver.. With what I propose, this would not be a problem for the sequencer... only for the notation-export. The sequencer would work as normal. So how would notation-export figure out how to generate repeat-notation, if only some tracks have repeats? I would say that it should only generate repeat-notation,if all the tracks marked for export to a given score share repeats. Else it should expand all repeats (an option could allow to expand everything anyway). This seems reasonable to me... You have the same problem when hand-writing scores. If one voice does not have the same repeat-structure as the rest, you cannot place them in the same score without expanding the repeats. If you want nice printed scores, you'll have to do some work explaining to RG which tracks repeat which segments when.
