Re: Beat markers in the chords section

[Mike Dean]

Kieren: it worked great, thanks mauch

I am having problems when I print to PDF in 2.24/Frescobaldi 3.2: the program hangs (I'm not sure if it's on the Lilypond side or the Frescobaldi side --- Frescobaldi says that it's not responding):

This is the early version

Hi Mike,

Well, you could definitely use the Slash_repeat_engraver, if you know what you’re doing…
I don’t really, but I took a whack at it — see snippet below.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.

p.s. Really, the built-in repeat engravers should handle this more elegantly. I’ll see what I can do to put a patch together.
