The <measure-repeat> element

Parent element: <measure-style>

The measure-repeat type is used for both single and multiple measure repeats. The text of the element indicates the number of measures to be repeated in a single pattern. The slashes attribute specifies the number of slashes to use in the repeat sign. It is 1 if not specified. The text of the element is ignored when the type is stop.

The stop type indicates the first measure where the repeats are no longer displayed. Both the start and the stop of the measure-repeat should be specified unless the repeats are displayed through the end of the part.

The measure-repeat element specifies a notation style for repetitions. The actual music being repeated needs to be repeated within each measure of the MusicXML file. This element specifies the notation that indicates the repeat.
