I tried looking this up in the two indices without success. It causes a syntax error after a note but repeats a chord when placed after a chord. I wonder what exactly it is all about and why I can't find it documented...http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/single-voice#chord-repetition there's a few things which are only documented in the learning manual. :)
Actually I would change that last sentence to read: There's a few things which are not documented in the Learning Manual. And this is a deliberate decision. If not, it's still a good decision.I don't see q as being needed in the Learning Manual as a good thing; apart from all the discussion how 'q' is a rather arbitrary 'command' - why 'q'? what does 'q' stand for etc., not knowing q doesn't lose you any functionality (i.e. there is nothing that q does that you cannot already do with the 'correct' syntax) but there are limitations using q - which are/should be documented in the Notation Reference.
As to the quote: there's a few things which are only documented in the learning manual. :)That implies that we're missing things in the NR that shoudl be in there. If so then let the list know (address@hidden) and that can be fixed.
Thanks James
