    And a % symbol with two slashes in it means repeat the previous two measures. It's usually placed on a bar line.

    As above, they've told you the truth, that % means repeat the bar.

    But, in case you've missed it, that percent sign is really a keyboard shorthand for the real thing which looks like this:

    What does '%' mean in a chord chart?-1-bar-jpg
    And, as someone said, more than one bar is like this:

    What does '%' mean in a chord chart?-2-bar-jpg
    And so on. The thing is the normal keyboard can't do that sign and it's not in Character Map so % is what we do!


    (god knows what it is in Arabic...)
