Just to illustrate what I am trying to say:
Below is a piano groove which goes on for ages. The main Screenshot shows bars 7 8 9 10 cleared for a 4 bar repeat. Ideally you would want to do this in blocks of 4 bars so the musician can follow easily - and yet space wise you would then take up only 2 bars of your part to represent this. Or even 2 bars of your part to represent and a repeat of 8 bars.
Now with pen and paper arranging it would be possible to put the convention of two diagonal thick stripes with dots and the number
4 above written exactly where the bar 9 barline is.
Instead in Logic's inadequate system, if you drag that symbol to bar 9 barline.. you get the little inset below which is that Logic 'thinks' you are repeating bars 7 and 8
PS and you would also want a way to easily hide the 4 bar rest signs - ideally without going to set up a completely different Staff Style which hides rests...
