Re: How to make jazz-like leadsheets without melody, only chords, and text?

[Jacques Menu]

This works, but with a second, empty staff:

\version "2.20.0"

\language "english"
\include "lilyjazz.ily"

global = {  \time 4/4   \key f \major  \tempo 4=100}
chordNames = \chordmode {f1:7 f:7 f:7 f:7}

\score {
  <<
    \global

    \new ChordNames {
      \chordNames
    }

    \new Voice
    \with { \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver" }
    {
      \improvisationOn \omit Stem
      \repeat unfold 16 { 4 }
    }
  >>
}
