Re: How to show 4x repeats?

[Markus Schneider]

Hi Arjan,

AFAIK you have to either use a text markup to indicate "4x" or use manual
repeats if you want a bracket. See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/Manual-repeat-commands.html#Manual-repeat-commands

Text spanners might also work, but they start/end on notes (not on bar lines
as desired).
