different pitches with the same rhythm

[Stefan Thomas]

Hello,
I have a problem, I can't get solved.
I want to typeset a piece of music, where the rhythms and rests are
most of the time of the same, but with different pitches. How can I
do this? I tried it with "\display music" but I can't understand how
it works.
I give You a short example.
I'm searching for a solution, where I don't have to do the complete
input for the second (and the following) lines:
\relative c''
{e16 r r8 r r16 c r4 b8. gis16
 d'16 r r8 r r16 b r4 bes8. as16 0
Thanks for Your support!
Stefan
