Hi,

is this a bug or is there some reason why this should be correct:

If I use a percent repeat in a customly timed measure (5/4 instead of
4/4), the repeat symbol lacks the dots and is placed to the left of the
bar. If I write something before the repeat (a time signature or only
<>), then the dots reappear and they are placed properly.

Thanks for clarification,
Joram


\version "2.16.2" % also tested with 2.17.26

<<
  \new Staff {
    \tempo "wrong?"
    \time 5/4
    \repeat unfold 10 a'4
  }
  \new RhythmicStaff {
    \repeat percent 2 { c4 c c c c }
  }

<<
  \new Staff {
    \tempo "what I expect"
    \time 5/4
    \repeat unfold 10 a'4
  }
  \new RhythmicStaff {
    <>  % (*) this is the only difference
    \repeat percent 2 { c4 c c c c }
  }

I've created a bug report as Issue 3693: PercentRepeat no dots with odd time signatures, RhythmicStaff

Thanks for an excellent example, Joram!

Cheers,
Colin
