Description

Issue type

Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)

Description with steps to reproduce

It is a standard convention of Braille music to use dots 2356 with a space either side to represent that the last bar should be repeated.

Entering dots 2356 (dskl) at the beginning of a bar followed by a space in 6-key entry should act as a shortcut to automatically copy the previous bar into the current bar.

Similarly, pressing 2356 within a bar should copy the previous beat or part bar. The rules around part bars are much more complicated and may require the full measure to be input before it is known what part of the bar that sign is representing.
