Description

Your idea

The measure repeats for 2, 4, ... measures are engraved with a number.
It should be possible to hide that number.

Problem to be solved

The sign is self-speaking and in most case the extra number is not equired. Its position can be configured but it cannot be hidden.

Prior art

In early 4.x versions, the measure repeats came without number which was completely fine.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the measure-repeat engraving code and the existing setting for number position, then trace how a visibility option would be exposed. Done means users can hide the repeat number while existing repeat engraving and positioning continue to work.
