Shortcuts for octaves

2012-05-29 Thread Álex R . Mosteo 
I'm transcribing a piece which is heavy on chords with only two notes in 
octaves:

c c' and so on. I wonder what's the fastest way to enter lots of these.

Using the 'q' shortcut helps a little; in other parts I use the
 {} {}  notation and that also helps depending on the distribution of 
things. But mostly, since there are single notes interspersed, I enter them 
stand-alone.

I also played with ChordMode but it's more verbose too.

I was wondering if I'm missing some shortcut for doubling a note that I've 
not seen in the docs.

Thanks,

Alex.

Can you elaborate on the `and so on' bit?

If it's

c c' es es'

why not type

c es

and use replace to add the \1 \1'?

In such cases, LSR is everyone's friend:

It is, usually a few of these and then some stand-alone note.

I confess I lost you here. Is that some editor capability or some built-in 
function of lilypond?

Thanks,
Alex.
