This is great!
I've chosed arbitrary defaults, which may be changed: - the shortcut is `q'; - the function copying the previous chord only copies the chord pitches, and removes all other decorations. Both are customizable, but a sensible default from the beginning may be preferable.A naive question: Could it be an option to make <c e g>4*8 do the obvious thing? Or even { <c e g>4 }*8 ? That would be so much more natural. The first already does something, but not something which I would call useful. The second bombs out. In contrast, q feels rather hackish.
There was a *long* thread some months ago about this, see for example http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-04/msg00160.htmlI don't know whether 'q' is perfect (somebody proposed the mnemonical explanation 'quord' which sound chuite like 'chord'), others were in favor for 'x' as in 'expression',
but something like <c e g>4 q q q is visually easier to catch (at least for me) than <c e g>4*4because when I sketch some ideas down onto a piece of paper, I use some signs
for placeholders when the same chord appears consecutively, like C-7 / / / (not to propose the '/' as a better choice instead of 'q'!) and not C-7*4 (or even C-28 ;-) Marc
