Re: Percent repeats

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Ralph,

My "Essential Dictionary of Music Notation" uses the terms

    beat repetitions
    measure repetitions
    section repetitions

However, it has no special term for the symbol -- it simply describes  
it in words: "This sign (%) is used..."

For the record, it also says "Do not use [beat repetitions] in  
engraved music" and "In engraved music, [the use of single-measure  
repetitions] should be limited to rhythm parts."

Hope this helps,
Kieren.
