Oddly enough, I was thinking of asking the same question ...

Incidentally, if it can't be done at present and someone is thinking of 
doing it, a related problem is exactly the same thing but with \unfold. 
eg

               2             3             4
[music] | [samemusic] | [samemusic] | [samemusic] | [anothermusic]

which I often come across. The latter probably isn't too hard to rig, 
but the former I don't know how to do.

Oh - and something to watch out for - when using \unfold, the first 
repeated bar often has to be explicitly coded because of non-music 
expressions such as dynamics in the first bar, so whereas with % it 
would put '2' over the first repeated bar, with \unfold it may need to 
put '2' over the first bar.

Cheers,
