Great David, thank you! And what about the note duration? Is there any why
to avoid to specify the note duration and write something like this:
\version "2.19.60"
nc = c_3
nd = d_2
ne = e_3
nf = f_4
{
\fixed c' {<>8 [\nc \nd \ne \nf}
\fixed c' {<>16 [\nc \nd \ne \nf}
}
(I know I can use a snippet, but I'm curious to see if in simple case like
this there is simplier solution).
