Repeat chord symbol
Is there a way to enter a repeat chord symbol (the slash with dot on either side) other than to use the percent key?

For the 'Repeat measure sign' - i.e., the slash with a dot on either side - look in the Repeats & Jumps palette.
See:

For slashes (no dot on either side) that represent repeating chords, see:

No. But see #127376: Simile Mark as Chord Symbol (for either 1-measure, 2-measures, or 4-measures) and #84066: Allow % as chord symbol

Just press F2 while typing your chord symbol to bring up the Special Characters dialog and enter the symbol from there, You might want to adjust the size or position from there, using the Inspector after exiting edit mode.

Hmm, OK, so that works meanwhile! That was new to me, it didn't in the past, unless I remember wrongly

HI Marc, that does not seem to work for me. When adding the repeat symbol from the 'special characters dialog', the symbol turns into a 'question mark symbol - "?", meaning that musescore does not recognise it there. Any idea of what could be happening?
Meanwhile, what worked for me was to manually add a text dialog above the measure where I want to add the repeat symbol as chord, and within the box I used the repeat symbol from the 'special characters dialog'.

Well, as I mentioned elsewhere, this was only made to work fairly recently - around 3.3, maybe? - so make sure you have the current version (Help / Check for Updates). If it still doesn't work we'd need you to attach the score give us precise step by step instructions to reproduce the problem (eg, which chord symbol you are editing, how you are adding from Special Characters - click vs drag&drop).

Same answer applies then - just add the symbol from the Special Character palette (press F2 to display)

Thanks for the info - That (using F2) seems to work for the most part.
When uploading though, the repeat symbol get converted to another language character.
I uploaded the example here:

Also, attached is an image of the relevant part
Thanks

I had a similar issue with a quarter note glyph from the F2 palette. I guess this issue needs to get reported on musescore.com, like in https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com/
