It seems there’s currently no way to create a 3-bar repeat using the %3 syntax. I’m curious, does this reflect a notational convention (i.e. odd numbers of bars aren’t typically repeated this way), or is it simply a limitation of the current implementation?
Apologies, I should have searched the forum before posting. I now see that this issue has already been discussed in depth:
From my perspective, this remains a frustrating limitation. It would be incredibly useful to use %3 to repeat a three-bar riff. Instead, having to write it out not only adds unnecessary clutter to the part but also takes up valuable space. Thank goodness pit musicians most often use iPads these days
