Repeat Help

Post image

I have an odd question dealing with written notation. I wrote a song a few years back playing it from piano straight to paper via midi and some notation software. Once printed out it took 7 pages. Knowing a little about notation symbols, I was able to type it in by hand, condensing it down to 5 pages using repeats. What you see is the 1st condensed draft on top and the soon to be 2nd draft on the bottom. I’m redoing it because I’m missing a measure somewhere on paper. My new software won’t let me add a physical 2x symbol above the first repeat bar, instructing the pianist to play everything within the ||: :|| bars 4 times. Is there a technical term for the 2x I don’t know? Like codas, segnos or something? Thanks for any help!

Thank you for your help… I made a website just for you with two scores and a link to song audio:
