Okay, I get that. That's why Score.repeatCommands doesn't work.

This, however, doesn't seem to be true. I cannot get \bar "|:" to print
without either using Score.BreakAlignment or else using a skip before
the \bar "|:" (to "attach" the \bar "|:" to, if I had to guess), and
using the skip moves the repeat sign even further than
Score.BreakAlignment does, if in the opposite direction.
