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 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
