Hi Francisco,

Exactly, thanks. Latest example from Thomas Morley (not _that_ Thomas
Morley, I guess :-) ) is more precise and better, but I think plain
slashes are a quick way of indicating 'beat' repeats. 

What about something like this?  It's a simple Scheme engraver which replaces repeated chord-name text with a slash.  (For the slash, I just removed the dots from the repeat markup which Robin posted in the other thread.)  It's pretty rough, but it works with your last example.  I don't have a more extensive example to try it out on to see where it might break down!

\version "2.15.24"

simile = \markup {
  \rotate #90 \translate #'(0 . 2) \beam #2 #-1 #0.5

test =
#(lambda (context)
  (let ((text #f))
    `((acknowledgers
      (chord-name-interface .
        ,(lambda (engraver grob source-engraver)
          (if text
              (if (equal? text (ly:grob-property grob 'text))
                  (set! (ly:grob-property grob 'text) simile)
 (set! text (ly:grob-property grob 'text)))
              (set! text (ly:grob-property grob 'text)))))))))

         
harmonies = \chordmode { c1 g e:m e:m e:m a:m bes c }

chs = \transpose c' c' {
  <c e g bes des' >4 q q <c e g bes dis'> 
  <c e g bes dis'> \repeat unfold 3 { <c e g bes dis'> }
  <c e g bes>1
}

<< \new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##f \harmonies } >>

<<
  \new ChordNames { \chs }
  \new Staff \transpose c c' { \chs }
>>

\layout {
  \context {
    \ChordNames
    \consists #test
  }
}
