Thank you.

For repeats in the middle of a line I have the following layout in
mind:

Five elements:

":" "thin line" "heavy line" "thin line" ":"

Reference: "standard notation practice", Music Publishers'
Association of the United States, Inc. (c) 1966, 1993
(See attachment: repeat.pdf)

I have found the lilypond-practice (four elements: ":" "heavy line"
"heavy line" ":") in Bärenreiter 320 (Bach Suite for solo Cello ed.
Wenzinger (c)1950 now. This is why Lilypond uses it!
I also found this in other Bärenreiter editions (e.g.J.S. Bach: Neue
Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke), but everywhere else I looked I found the
former.
