Is there any way to put a footnote on a repeat percent-like symbols?

Well, there should be. After all, the documentation for \footnote speaks also of indirectly created grobs. However, I can’t say why

\version "2.19.58"
{
  \context Bottom <<
    \repeat percent 2 { c16 d e f }
    { s4 \single\footnote #'(1 . 5) "test" PercentRepeat s }
  >>
}

doesn’t work…

Best, Simon

The grob is not PercentRepeat but RepeatSlash, so below works.

\repeat percent 2 { c16 d e f \footnote #'(1 . 5) "test" RepeatSlash }

It's not always obvious which grob is created by \repeat percent ...
RepeatSlash
DoubleRepeatSlash
PercentRepeat
DoublePercentRepeat

are all possible, iirc.

So I usually check with

\override grob-name-to-test . color = #red

before.
