The q command is really a time saver and I'm really glad to have it.
After using it in scores, I have the following observation:
q makes it really easy to reprint chords and articulations that are
attached to them, but it also reprints fingerings. As a general rule,
fingering indications are not repeated for every chord or note. Writing
"<c-3 e-2 g-0 c-1 e-0>4 q q q" will result in the fingering indications
being repeated for each repetition of the chord. I avoid this by writing
"<c-3 e-2 g-0 c-1 e-0>4 <c e g c e> q q" instead. Is this something that
can be modified, or will we just have to live with the way it is?
BTW, I'm not at all displeased with the way it currently works; like I
said, it saves time regardless. I just wonder if it's possible to refine it.
