New issue 3146 by address@hidden: \repeat percent is limited to 2 measures
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3146

Jim Long reports a bug with \repeat Percent when applied to multi measure  
rests longer than to bars.

- an improved error message would be helpful
- can this function be enhanced to work with more - up to 4 - bars
- the doc should describe this limitation more clearly

example code:

\repeat percent 4 { R1*4 }

produces:
