Re: GDP: squashed noteheads in improvisation

[Mats Bengtsson]

In these situations, the actual notes you enter are just placeholders to
be able to specify a rhythm (which is the only thing of interest in this
notation). So, why would you bother to use extra key strokes to specify
a note with an accidental?
Having written this, I just realize one obvious such scenario, namely when
you have some sequence of notes defined in an identifier and want to use it
both to print ordinary notes and to notate a rhythm.
In other words, it would probably make sense to replace the definitions in
property-init.ly with

improvisationOn =  {
   \set squashedPosition = #0
   \override NoteHead  #'style = #'slash
   \override Accidental #'stencil = ##f
}

improvisationOff =  {
   \unset squashedPosition
   \revert NoteHead #'style
   \revert Accidental #'stencil
}
