A note pattern can be repeated with the \repeat percent
number syntax. The music is printed once, and the pattern
is replaced with a special sign. Patterns of one and two measures
are replaced by percent-like signs, patterns that divide the
measure length are replaced by slashes. Percent repeats must be
declared within a Voice
context.
\new Voice \relative c' { \repeat percent 4 { c4 } \repeat percent 2 { c2 es2 f4 fis4 g4 c4 } }
Measure repeats of more than two measures get a counter if you
switch on the countPercentRepeats
property:
\new Voice { \set countPercentRepeats = ##t \repeat percent 4 { c1 } }
Isolated percents can also be printed. This is done by entering a multi-measure rest with a different print function:
\override MultiMeasureRest #'stencil = #ly:multi-measure-rest::percent R1
