Hi, You might use the q letter for repeated chords, such as:
\version "2.19.80" \new Staff { \clef "treble_8" <e, b, e b e'>4-> q \deadNote e, q8-> q } Hope this helps, Jean Le mardi 12 février 2019 à 11:30 +0000, Stig Brautaset a écrit : > Hi! > > I'm trying to transcribe the guitar parts of songs I like using > LilyPond.
