\property score.skipPercent ##t
\repeat "percent" 5
{
c2 c |
}

should produce  (bad ASCII graphics)


                  4
|   o   o   |          |
|   |    |    |    %   |
|             |          |

like the old construct

\property score.skipBars=1;
c2 c |
\repetitions 1*4 |

did with 1.2.17.

Also knowing how to put numbers above bars to help reading like in your 
example
wold be helpful.
I need these features to typeset marching band parts. Squeezing 200+ 
measures into
one 210mm * 145mm page is really difficult.

I will answer on the other points later.
Thanks a lot,
