Sometimes, instead of a note or notes,
a diagonal slash mark is printed on a staff.
This is used for various purposes,
such as strumming a chord (in a
guitar part), or to mean that the previous beat should be
repeated or
that a note should be improvised.
You can get slash marks for all notes by setting the
noteheads parameter.
noteheads = "allslash"
noteheads = "slash"
stemlen=0
If you just want specific chords to be slashes, you can use the
chord head shape override:
1: b;[ hs "allslash"; len 0 ]... ;;; bar
