This should actually be a quite easy way for you to get started in some
lilypond programming.  It should be easy to define a function in scheme
(make-stopped music) which would convert each note to a stopped note. 
Then you could do

myRiff = {
  \powerMiBeat
  \powerDoBeat
  \powerSolBeat
  \powerFadBeat
}

\score {
  myRiff
  #(make-stopped myRiff)
} 

It's generally easier to get started by implementing things in guile
(scheme), rather than starting off playing with the parser.

Hope this helps,
