Hi,
you could do
(1) manually:
minus =\once \override ChordName.text = "-"
<<
\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
g4 \minus g c \minus c d c
}
\new Staff { \repeat unfold 6 c''4 }
>>
(2) automatic
#(define dash-repeated-chords
(lambda (context)
(let ((chord '()))
`((acknowledgers
(chord-name-interface .
,(lambda (engraver grob source-engraver)
(if (equal? (ly:grob-property grob 'text) chord)
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text "-"))
(set! chord (ly:grob-property grob 'text)))))
(finalize . ,(lambda (translator) (set! chord '())))))))
<<
\new ChordNames \with { \consists #dash-repeated-chords }
\chordmode {
g4 g c c d c
}
\new Staff { \repeat unfold 6 c''4 }
>>
HTH,
Harm
