It is also possible to do 1 and 2 endings, but this is very crude.
And well hidden?

Some things may have changed. I think the current approach by writing out the repetitions is a good option for now. Implementing repeats can be implemented in a leter version. > We don't have the % measure repeat at all, no.

It seems the are rarely nowadays indeed. I can remember these kind of repetitions a very old editions of marches published 50 to 60 years ago.
