If a repeat starts in the middle of a measure and has no alternate
endings, normally the end of the repeat will also fall in the
middle of a measure, so that the two ends add up to one complete

-Only three kinds of percent repeats are supported: a single slash
-representing a single beat (regardless of the duration of the repeated
-notes); a single slash with dots representing one full measure; and
-two slashes with dots crossing a bar line representing two full
-measures. Neither multiple slashes representing single beat repeats
-consisting of sixteenth or shorter notes, nor two slashes with dots
-representing single beat repeats consisting of notes of varying
-durations, are supported.
