What would you expect that to render as? Standard musical notation has repeat a note (thick slash), repeat one measure (dots around thick slash), and repeat two measures (dots around two thick slashes on the bar). There isn't AFAIK any standard musical notation for a more-than-two measure repeat. So that's why LilyPond doesn't produce anything: there isn't anything sensible to do by default. This is usually done with volta repeats, and a text notation above saying how many times it should repeat. That doesn't help, of course, if you don't want the other staves in a system to repeat. So, while this may be a common requirement, it's apparently not common enough that musical notation has a standard answer. -- \ “I am the product of millions of generations of individuals who | `\ each fought against a hostile universe and won, and I aim to | _o__) maintain the tradition.” —Paul Z.
