This should be customizable: a default function would be defined,
that the user could change it if needed. And the same goes for the
repetition character/string.

Somewhere you set:

#(define-public (default-repetition-function previous-chord new-chord)
    ... build a music expression...)
#(ly:parser-repetition-name parser "&")
#(ly:parser-repetition-function parser default-repetition-function)

By default, the repetition string could even be undefined, not to
break existing music code, and set only if needed, say be including
repetition-init.ly.

Then the choice of the repetition character or string needs not
be debated anymore, until the thing actually works :)
