Hello, I try to set some barless music, a modern variant of Gregoriant chant. There are no normal bars: bars are only used to separate the different parts. The notes have no stems, only quarters and halves are used. This is no problem using Lilypond. You only need lots of spaces (s1,s2,...).

Erwin, I won't touch the chords question. I always hover over the manual whenever I want to do something more than basic chords. For the ritarando, I would use a \mark instead of a text object. If you are using 1.7.x you can use the new \markup syntax to select an italic font. It is much
