Re: 3x repeats
I'm surprised you can't do it with a spanner. Why don't we have something
like:
\override TextSpanner #'(center-text text) = \markup { \small Play three
times }

How do you produce that? I have looked at the documentation but didn't
figure it out.

This was a quick hack. It needs to be worked on so it can span multiple
bars (and as it stands, the symbol doesn't mean anything--it's just a
bracket with text).

dirty hack:
%%
\version 2.17.27
\relative c'' {
\override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
\override TupletBracket.direction = #UP
%% CHANGE THIS TO EXTEND TO BARLINE
\override TupletBracket.shorten-pair = #'(0 . -5.0)
\override TupletNumber.text = \markup 3x
\repeat volta 3 {
% tuplet 4/4 to get a bracket for normal durations
\tuplet 4/4 { c8 b16 a ~ a8 g a4 c | c8 b16 a ~ a8 g a2 }
}
\repeat unfold 2 { c8 b16 a ~ a8 g a2 | }
}
%%
produces the attached output. :) the code is a bit ugly, and seriously
misuses tuplets, but gets the job done. :)

Re: 3x repeats
Slash repeats are never used with certain instruments and only rarely seen outside handwritten scores. Even Ravel's Bolero doesn't use them in the score, where the snare drum plays the same pair of bars for 65 pages (though it does obviously use them in the part).
