Re: many bars with the same chrod

I’d use “\set chordChanges = ##t” to keep from printing the extra chords and to avoid the N.C. you get if the chord is omitted.

Hi, I am transcribing "Rabbits In The Pea Patch", by Maceo Parker, for personal study:

    Maceo Parker – Rabbits In The Pea Patch

In this theme Maceo improvises over one chord, and after 32 bars or something it goes up one, and after another round goes up again, etc.

How would you write the harmony here? I tried to get the first intro bar blank, then A7 (in E flat) in the second bar, and then I guess I'd leave the next bars empty meaning the A7 is implicit.

But I get "N.C."s in the empty measures and looks noisy to me.

Indeed I don't even know if what I described above would be idiomatic.

What do you recommend?
