Hi,
I know it's not the whole solution, but to abbreviate things you might
use:
\repeat unfold x {\beatnotes}
...to avoid repetition.
Also, if you have a riff which you use over and over again, how about
defining it separately:
myriff = \notes {a8 a8 a4 a4 a8 a8}
myotherriff = \notes {a4 a a a}
\notes { \time 4/4
\myriff |
\myriff |
\myotherriff |
etc.
}
Regards,
Ralph

Yes! When I make lead sheets for rhythm guitar, I often use a
RhythmStaff and slash note heads to indicate strumming patterns.
The result is somthing like:
\notes { \time 4/4
a8 a8 a4 a4 a8 a8 |
a8 a8 a4 a4 a8 a8 |
a4 a4 a4 a4 |
etc.
}
In this case, I really only want to indicate durations and leave off
the pitch since it does not matter on a RhythmStaff. Having said that,
it is not very hard to add the note, but it makes the resulting code
more verbose than necessary.
