Hi all,
is it possible to use slashed note heads for chords to indicate the rhythm of a
strumming pattern? This is what I have tried so far:
\version "2.13.10"
chordsI = \chordmode {c1 }
chordsII = { <c e g c e>1 }
\relative c' {
\new Voice \with {\consists "Pitch_squash_engraver" }
{
\chordsI
\chordsII
\improvisationOn
\chordsI
\chordsII
\improvisationOff
\override NoteHead #'style = #'slash
\chordsI
\chordsII
}
}
In the resulting pdf all slashed notes are doubled (or – not surprisingly – all
note heads of a chord are slashed). I found a hint in the mail archive that
\improvisationOn expects single notes
(http://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg50248.html). If
\improvisationOn accepted chords, strumming patterns could be achieved very
easily using \chordmode. The only solution I can think of right now is to use
(additional) single notes after \improvisationOn. But then I would have to
manually turn all the single notes into chords again if I wanted to engrave
normal note heads instead of slashed note heads in a different edition. Is
there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks for your help!
