Hello, Yesterday I was thinking about percussion notation in ABC.
When clef=perc, abcm2ps prints an X-like note head for sharp notes and a circled X note head for flat notes (normal heads for natural notes). According to the ABC 2.0 draft IV, the number of staff lines can be set by V:<ID> stafflines=<N>. For MIDI players, a compatible approach could be (I thought) to reset the map of percussion sounds: % drum map _e=42 % closed hi-hat ^e=46 % open hi-hat ^g=55 % splash cymbal E=36 % bass drum G=38 % acoustic snare % etc. This way, one could write: X:1 T:Drum map K:none clef=perc % using the same pitch positions as of treble clef |: E2 GE zE z2 & z_e z_e z_e z_e :| -------- That is my basic idea. Has anybody a suggestion for a good syntax for it?
