I think so, but this would be hard-coded in the notation software. With abcm2ps, one can yet create new note heads as decorations of type +head-xxx+.

I figure that with I: field inline one can achieve the same result: [I:setdrum 42] +head-x+ _e _e [I:setdurm 56] +head-t+ ^e z | _e _e z ^e Here, the assumed syntax of the command setdrum is: %%setdrum <num> Apply the drum sound <num> to next notes: I: setdrum 42 % Closed Hi Hat (or) %%setdrum <ABC-note>=<num> Set drum sound <num> to <ABC-note>: I: setdrum F=36 % Bass Drum 1 The generical form would be: [I:setmidinote C=57], to work like abcMIDI's %%MIDI C 57, but resetting only the notes on the current voice.

The main issue is how to represent percussion music in a short way, compatible for *both* MIDI simulation and sheet music printing.
