Percent repeat count visibility
Percent repeat counters can be shown at regular intervals by setting the context property
repeatCountVisibility.
\relative c'' {
\set countPercentRepeats = ##t
\set repeatCountVisibility = #(every-nth-repeat-count-visible 5)
\repeat percent 10 { c1 } \break
\set repeatCountVisibility = #(every-nth-repeat-count-visible 2)
\repeat percent 6 { c1 d1 }
}

Positioning arpeggios
If you need to extend or shorten an arpeggio, you can modify the upper and lower start positions
independently.
\relative c' {
1\arpeggio
\once \override Arpeggio #'positions = #'(-5 . 0)
1\arpeggio
\once \override Arpeggio #'positions = #'(0 . 5)
1\arpeggio
\once \override Arpeggio #'positions = #'(-5 . 5)
1\arpeggio
}
Positioning multi-measure rests
Unlike ordinary rests, there is no predefined command to change the staff position of a multimeasure
rest symbol of either form by attaching it to a note. However, in polyphonic music
multi-measure rests in odd-numbered and even-numbered voices are vertically separated. The
positioning of multi-measure rests can be controlled as follows:
\relative c'' {
% Multi-measure rests by default are set under the fourth line
R1
% They can be moved using an override
\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-2
R1
\override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #0
