16 | Sometimes, instead of a note or notes, | |
17 | a diagonal slash mark is printed on a staff. | |
18 | This is used for various purposes, | |
19 | such as strumming a chord (in a | |
20 | guitar part), or to mean that the previous beat should be | |
21 | repeated or | |
22 | that a note should be improvised. | |
23 | You can get slash marks for all notes by setting the | |
24 | <A HREF="param.html#notehead">noteheads parameter.</A> | |
25 | <BR><PRE> | |
26 | noteheads = "allslash" | |
27 | </PRE><BR> | |
28 | or if you want to use hollow slashes for half notes and longer | |
29 | <BR><PRE> | |
30 | noteheads = "slash" | |
31 | </PRE><BR> | |
32 | Usually such slash marks do not include a stem, | |
33 | so you may wish to also set | |
34 | <BR><PRE> | |
35 | stemlen=0 | |

39 | If you just want specific chords to be slashes, you can use the | |
40 | chord head shape override: | |
41 | <BR><PRE> | |
42 | 1: b;[ hs "allslash"; len 0 ]... ;;; | |
43 | bar | |
