The question likely is: For what purpose do you want that? Since 
obviously, if you really want a percent repeat (that is an abbreviated 
notation to avoid spelling out the same notes many times), the player 
needs to know somehow what he is supposed to repeat, so the first one 
needs to be spelled out.
I suspect you might want something like 
<http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/note-heads#improvisation>, 
but I can’t know.
