In music that contains many occurrences of the same sequence of notes at different pitches, the following music function may prove useful. It takes a note, of which only the pitch is used.
This example creates the rhythm used throughout Mars, from Gustav Holst's The Planets.
\version "2.24"
rhythm =
#(define-music-function (p) (ly:pitch?)
"Make the rhythm in Mars (the Planets) at the given pitch"
#{ \tuplet 3/2 { $p 8 8 8 } 4 4 8 8 4 #})
\new Staff {
\time 5/4
\rhythm c'
\rhythm c''
\rhythm g
}
