Two questions: slashes and rhythmic cues
I've read the archives and see people discussing this but not sure anything was decided. I'm writing a jazz lead sheet and need slashes with chords over them. It's the slashes that I'm having a problem with. I found that I could use the following: \override NoteHead #'style = #'slash \override Stem #'transparent = ##t g4 g g g g g g g But when the parts are transposed the slashes move all over the place for the Bb and Eb instruments. Is there are way to keep the slash exactly on a certain note and ignore the transposition? Also, that symbol should not be a playable one. Is there a way to differentiate it from a repeat slash marking so as to not have it play in the midi output? The second question regards rhythmic cues, smallish notes that would appear in or above the staff indicating rhythmic "hits" or "kicks", but again this would only indicate rhythm and not be a playable note in midi output. It should also not be transposable. Stan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Two questions: slashes and rhythmic cues
Let me try posting this again. Previously post got attached to another thread... I've read the archives and see people discussing this but not sure anything was decided.

You should be able to figure out how to extract the portions that you need. Also, that symbol should not be a playable one. Is there a way to differentiate it from a repeat slash marking so as to not have it play in the midi output? I have no idea about this, though.

Is there are way to keep the slash exactly on a certain note and ignore the transposition? I was about to ask the same question. As it happens, this is part of an example in 9.2.6 Defining new contexts. You should be able to figure out how to extract the portions that you need. Thanks. It looks like a bit of work but less than what I did to solve this on my own. Great new manual!!! Thanks for all of your work!

contexts.
Even though the slashes don't move, octaves and accidentals (because of
transposition) do affect the music following the slashed music. Also
transposition can cause accidentals to appear with the slashes"
