The beat-repeat type is used to indicate that a single beat (but possibly many notes) is repeated. Both the start and stop of the beat being repeated should be specified. The slashes attribute specifies the number of slashes to use in the symbol. The use-dots attribute indicates whether or not to use dots as well (for instance, with mixed rhythm patterns). By default, the value for slashes is 1 and the value for use-dots is no.The beat-repeat element specifies a notation style for repetitions. The actual music being repeated needs to be repeated within the MusicXML file. This element specifies the notation that indicates the repeat.
