Re: How to do jazz-style bar repeats

[Colin Hall]

Hi Tim,

I use a slash notehead on the middle line of the stave, see below.

Cheers,
Colin.

%
% Harmony
%
harmonyIntro = \chordmode
{
  bf1:m |
  bf1:m |
  bf1:m |
  c2:7 f2:7 |
}

%
% Piano music sections
%
pianoRightIntro =
{
  <bf df' f'>2_\markup \small { "L.H."} ~ <a df' f'>2 |
  <af! df' f'>2 ~ <g df' f'>2 |
  <gf! df' f'>2 ~ <f df' f'>2 |
  \override NoteHead #'style = #'slash
  \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
  bf'4 bf'4 bf'4 bf'4 |
  \revert NoteHead #'style
  \revert Stem #'transparent

}
