Re: The q repeat command and fingerings

[David Stocker]

Thanks Nicolas.

Also, q might be taught to ignore octave modifiers in \relative mode. 
Take a look at the following code.

%%%%minimal example%%%%

\version "2.13"

\include "english.ly"

notes = {
 \relative c' {
   <c, e g>4 q q q q q q q
 }
}

\score {
 \new Staff = "Guitar" {
   \clef "treble_8"
   \key c \major
   \time 4/4
   \notes
 }
}

%%%%end minimal example%%%%
