In German music-notation, we know the term "tacet" in order to say the musician not to play his chords for a while. How can that be typeset with lilypond? It's similar to "N.C.", but in most common books the text "tacet" is printed.

"Tacet' is used internationally.– PiedPiperCommented Jan 4, 2020 at 19:49

It depends on how you want the tacet to be printed. A simple
R1*20 ^ \markup{Tacet}
will print the word 'Tacet' above the staff:
Combine it with \compressFullBarRests for a short version:

Thanks for your fast reply. I've tried: the definition CMString = { <c e g>-\markup { \whiteout { \hspace #-2 "Tacet" } } } CMStringX = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions CMString #t) ignatzekExceptions) and use: \set chordNameExceptions = #CMStringX c \unset chordNameExceptions but my "a" is always overlined. Any idea?– AndreasCommented Jan 4, 2020 at 19:44
