Rhythmic slashes
In “simple” lead-sheets, sometimes no actual notes are written, instead only “rhythmic patterns”
and chords above the measures are notated giving the structure of a song. Such a feature is for
example useful while creating/transcribing the structure of a song and also when sharing lead
sheets with guitarists or jazz musicians. The standard support for this using \repeat percent
is unsuitable here since the first beat has to be an ordinary note or rest. This example shows two
solutions to this problem, by redefining ordinary rests to be printed as slashes. (If the duration
of each beat is not a quarter note, replace the r4 in the definitions with a rest of the appropriate
duration).
