Question on the repeat symbol

[Sabrina Sun]

Dear all,

   Thanks for your precious time in advance and my question is for the 
repeat symbol [/]  is it generally used for single words only?  Or could it 
apply to phrases/sets of words that are said repeatedly in an utterance 
(like: the boy the boy the boy…)?  If so, how should it be typed to show 
that this set of words is repeated?  Would it look like:

the boy [/] the boy [/] the boy [/]

also for single repeated words (boy boy boy) is it better to type all in 
with the [/] following the repeats (boy boy [/] boy [/]) or to just type 
the word once and indicate it is repeated ([/] or [x3])?


Thanks and looking forward to your comment.


best,

Sabrina
