Re: "q"?

[Peter Toye]

Federico,

If I had known what it was, it would have been very easy! It's not just for fretted strings - I'm a pianist and repeated chords happen quite a lot, especially in orchestral reductions. It would have saved me a LOT of time recently.

Also, shouldn't it be just "q" rather than "\q"? That's what I've seen and it works on my input.

Best regards,

Peter

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.
