Re: Chords above notes for chant

[Br. Athanasius Pelletier]

I don't want the notes to be chords because the notes are chanted as they are.  An organ will accompany the chanting and play the chords that I want to indicate above certain notes.  Also, how would I insert a rest?  All I get when I try your example is a N.C.

Have you tried chord mode?

\score {

   \chords {
     c4 c c c
   }
   \new Staff <<

}

You can use rests or skips for places you don’t want any chords notated.
