Ah, OK :)

By now I am putting a "3x" mark above the repeat (if I put the mark at the beginning it is printed above the clef rather than at the beginning of the bar).

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. :)

regards,

sb
