Re: "q"?

In some snippets I've seen a note "q" which appears to repeat the previous note or chord. But I can't see it anywhere in the documentation (and doing a search for "q" isn't likely to be much help!). Is it there, or should it be?

If you know already what it is, then search is very easy.

Go in the index of the Notation Reference and search chord, repeats and you find this link:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#index-Chord_002c-repetition

Usually the commands are listed also under \, but there's no \q in the doc.
