Re: [Denemo-devel] Fwd: Repeat measures

[Richard Shann]

I did a search in the Command Ceneter for Repeat and after a dozen or so
other commands (I was determined to look carefully) I came across this
command:

Command: Insert Percent Style Repeat
Creates a repeat from the selection, typeset in \"percent\" style.
Location: Object Menu ▶ Notes/Rests ▶ Note Insertion
Internal Name: PercentRepeat

Your email doesn't appear to have reached the list - you can check if an
email has arrived by looking at the archive:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/denemo-devel/2017-11/index.html

which you can get to via the website (under "Community")
As a matter of interest, could you re-send your original email to the
mailing list (again) and see if it arrives this time?

This is also available, but rather hidden. If you open up the start
percent repeat object using the Object Editor (or use Edit->Advanced
Edit with the cursor on the start percent repeat directive)
you will see it starts with 
\set countPercentRepeats = ##f

which you can change to ##t and then the count appears.

Needs a bug report to make this easier to do....
