Simile mark in lyrics
Is there a way to add a simile mark to lyrics, or as stave text? It's typically used, e.g. in hymn tunes, to denote the repetition of a line in the lyrics. (I think Sibelius, for instance, converts % to the simile mark in lyrics).
I've looked through the documentation and forum and haven't managed to find an answer. I will be extremely grateful if anyone can help!
UPDATE: I'm running MuseScore 1.3 on Windows 7

I'm not understanding. Yes, you can create staff text or lyrcs and put the word "simile" there. Is there something else you want? I'm not aware of any standard symbol that means simile - I always just see the word itself, or the abbreviation "sim."

Thank you for your reply. Sorry if I wasn't very clear.
The 'Simile' mark that I'm talking about is the same mark that is used to repeat one or more measures. (It looks a bit like % - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols where it is described as a "Simile Mark"). Is there a way to add this symbol to the lyrics or the stave text? It doesn't seem to be in the Text Symbols palette.

Like the one in the Repeats palette

When you add the lyrics:
select MusicalSymbol down in the text bar. You'll find the character you're looking for (U + FOD4) and can be used as a common text.
Or copy and paste ...
