Well there are a number of unusual constructs in bar 73, I've done some
of it in the attached sample:
      * I turned on "Typeset Barlines Literally" as second-guessing
        where automatic barlines will come can become tedious. The
        downside is you have to manually beam the music.
      * I used the ordinary start/end repeat bars, but the ones with
        flags on are also available with a slightly different \bar
        "xxxx" LilyPond syntax (see LilyPond manual).
      * I used the RepeatMeasure command, but had to tweak the height of
        the % sign in LilyPond, I don't know why - could do with a bug
        report...

I didn't tackle the strange 5-naturals key signature, that would
normally be a change from (say) 5-flats, but not here - you could try
the LilyPond manual, or the LilyPond snippet repository or the
address@hidden mailing list to find out how to do this.

Bottom line is that this sort of music notation requires plenty of
direct work with LilyPond syntax (or use of a drawing program on the
output).
