| 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 |
