Re: "continuation" bars

[Malte Meyn]

Hi Steve,

what you probably are looking for is the \repeat command:

{
  \repeat percent 3 { c'2 d' }
  \repeat percent 3 { c' d' e' f' }
}

This can be found in section 1.4 of the notation reference 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/repeats).
