Hello Lilypond folk, First, thanks for a wonderful product. While I am still getting comfortable with it, I have already begun to create nice looking scores with it.
Now my question; in "simple" lead-sheets, sometimes no actual notes are written, instead only "rhythmic patterns" and chords above the measures are noted giving the structure of a song. I find such a feature useful while creating/transcribing the structure of a song and also when sharing lead sheets with guitarists or jazz musicians. I see from the manual (section 6.7.7 measure repeats http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Measure-repeats#Measure-repeats) that the "rhythmic slashes" can be made ... as part of a repeat. Unfortunately I cannot figure how to _only_ make these "slashes", without any initial note or rest. Ideally the slashed could be made for multiple duration values giving even more rhythmic information (ex: |c4 c8 8 c4 r4| ). I have a simple example where I try to create these rhythmic slashes using rests, silence, and regular notes online here: http://techweb.rfa.org/grauf/lily/rest.ly http://techweb.rfa.org/grauf/lily/rest.pdf http://techweb.rfa.org/grauf/lily/rest.ps However none of these examples give only the slashes, except for the 2nd+ measure of rests which is not a feasible solution. While I see the "pieces" are in lilypond, I ask the community for help in how I may put together the pieces to get my desired results. thank you, donfede _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
