Slash section

Slashes are used in a section to indicate that the performer is free to improvise. The slashes in the measures follow the meter, and there are chord indications above some slashes to indicate which notes to use for improvisation.

The slash section will replace the previous content, not taking into account of pitches, rests or durations.
