Sure, but assuming a German accordion input mode using uppercase for single notes and lowercase for chords, x for note repetition and X for chord repetition would be quite awkward. I'll admit that xx does not look chord-like from its syntax, but we don't have a single character <x> or x: lookalike. Huh. <x> as a chord repeat?
