Re: chord duration

[Frederick Dennis]

Dear Christian,
I checked out your code and all you have to do is
add a dot after the g2 to give the value of a 
dotted minim (half-note). Thanks for the code,
as I've never used \improvisationOn.
Yrs, Fred.

Hi there, another problem. I hope people don't get too impatient with
me. I try to figure out how to define a chord notation that doesn't
quite fit into the normal mode. Please consider the following working
code example:

\version "2.12.2"

#(ly:set-option 'delete-intermediate-files #t)  % deletes the .ps file
automatically

<<
 \new ChordNames {
   \chordmode {
     g1 | g1:sus4 | g2 g4:sus4 |
   }
 }

 \new Voice \with {
   \consists Pitch_squash_engraver
 } \relative c'' {
   \improvisationOn
   g4 g g g
   g4 g g g
   g4 g g g
 }
>>

Inside the third measure, how can have the G chord last for 3 quarter
notes? The g:sus4 is suppose to be on the last quarter note.
