You can just enter either rests or spacers for the measures where you don't
want chords to appear.
Instead of what you have, which would be something like
mychords = \chordmode {
df1 | bf:7 | ef2:7 af:7 | f1:m7 |
df1 | bf:7 | ef2:7 af:7 | f1:m7 |
}
You could use the following
mychords = \chordmode {
df1 | bf:7 | ef2:7 af:7 | f1:m7 |
s1*4
}
If you have different parts that need all the chords
then you would define different variables, such as in
the following example, allChords and someChords.
For material that would appear in both, like this 4 bar chord sequence,
you can define that as a variable, too, then reference
that in the other variables.
chordSequence = \chordmode {
df1 | bf:7 | ef2:7 af:7 | f1:m7 |
}
allChords = \chordmode {
\chordSequence
\chordSequence
}
someChords = \chordmode {
\chordSequence
s1*4
}
