Re: chord durations

[Christian Henning]

Cool, that worked. Though, in essence, I need to use the
ChordNames.chordChanges variable to surpress repeated chords. I wonder
where the current documentation mention this? googling for
"chordchanges" brings me to lilypond 2.9 documentation. There is the
chapter "7.2.3. Printing chord names" which I cannot find in 2.12.

Am I right, that lilypond is rarely used for my type of notation?
Meaning rock/pop tunes for acoustic guitar.
