Bar repeats
Bar repeats indicate that the musical material in preceding bars must be repeated exactly, but without notating that material again. Bar repeats can comprise groups of one, two, or four bars.
Bar repeat counts
Bar repeat counts are numbers shown at regular intervals either above or below bar repeats, to help performers keep track of how many bars have passed. The intervals are usually based on typical musical phrases, such as every four or eight bars.
