My final solution. Pretty easy and works well. In 'document options', using "EVPU" units, set "Adjust start point" to -50, leave the default "Adjust end point" at -30. And my personal preference is...

Seven years later and I'm still wrestling with this issue. Has anything new been developed? I would like all of my "one bar repeat" and "two bar repeat" measures to be set to a certain (smaller) wi...
