The player ignores and skips empty measures (they may also be confusing to the musician)

The bar-repeat sign is used in this case.

The bar-repeat sign is usually entered on space-2 (of a 4-space measure) so it will appear in the center of the measure.
Thanks for sharing your work.

It's best when charts shared in the main forums will function with the player.
Corrected chart:

Big George 1 - Shirley Scott
