Non-blank chord repeat

[Lee Daniel Crocker]

I'm printing lead sheets with just chords and lyrics, and this makes the
rhythm of the tune hard to see. What I'd like to do print chords at regular
intervals, say every half note, and rather than having repeats suppressed,
have them print "-".

For example, "G - C - D C" for two beats of G, two of C, one of D, one of
C.

I'd be happy to do this manually by inserting a chord named "-" if there
were a way to do that. Or I could enter the chords at regular intervals and
have it mark the repeats with "-" somehow. Or maybe enter "N.C." and have
that print as "-" somehow?

Why?  It's reasonably simple to develop software FOR Windows ON Linux, so
no one need suffer the deprivations of trying to develop software ON
Windows.
