repeat previous 2/4/6/etc. bars

I thought that I had mentionedthis but I annot find any referenceto it.

It would be very helpful to have a symbol, similar to the "repeat previous bar" symbol in the repeats pallet, at the top.

This would have 2 slashes and a place for a numeral which would then notate how many of the previous bars are repeated.

In my experience, this was placed over on the bar linewhich was 1/2 way through the bars laid out to represent the repeat. It was also placed above a single bar but the 2 slashes and the numeral denoted the actual number of bars to repeat.
