In the file you sent, there was no attempt to have a repeat in the
middle of a measure.
However, in the three upper parts you had inserted the \repeat command
at the beginning
of measure 9, whereas in the bass part you had inserted it at the
beginning of measure 12,
which means that the typeset score will contain a beginning repeat both
in measure 9 and 12.
Also, I didn't see empty measure at the end, that you complained about.
Reading your emails again, I tried to figure out what you want to
obtain. Perhaps it's like the
following (where I moved the \repeat command to 2 8th notes before
measure 9 in all the parts)
and inserted suitable \bar commands to get the special repeat bar layout
(it's enough to do it
in one of the parts, since the setting applies to the full score).
