Hi,
Here is patch implementing the chord repetition shortcut that has been
discussed a few times, for review:
<http://codereview.appspot.com/154056>
This is great!
I've chosed arbitrary defaults, which may be changed:
- the shortcut is `q';
- the function copying the previous chord only copies the chord pitches,
and removes all other decorations.
Both are customizable, but a sensible default from the beginning may be
preferable.
A naive question:
Could it be an option to make <c e g>4*8 do the obvious thing? Or even
{ <c e g>4 }*8 ?
That would be so much more natural. The first already does something,
but not something which I would call useful. The second bombs out.
In contrast, q feels rather hackish.
There was a *long* thread some months ago about this, see for example
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-04/msg00160.html
I don't know whether 'q' is perfect (somebody proposed the mnemonical
explanation
'quord' which sound chuite like 'chord'), others were in favor for 'x'
as in 'expression',
but something like
<c e g>4 q q q
is visually easier to catch (at least for me) than
<c e g>4*4
because when I sketch some ideas down onto a piece of paper, I use some
signs
for placeholders when the same chord appears consecutively,
like
C-7 / / /
(not to propose the '/' as a better choice instead of 'q'!)
and not C-7*4 (or even C-28 ;-)
