I have been using lilypond for years for my own projects and have recently
introduced it to a friend of mine. He is a drum instructor and has been reading
drum notation for many years. He's pointed out some things that are
non-standard about the way lilypond handles some drum notation tasks. Most of
these I have been able to correct using a #(define block. There are, however,
some things I have not yet been able to crack.
First, for hi-hat, the notation for open and closed are correct, but for the
half-open he would like to appear exactly like the open hi-hat notation, except
the "o" above the stem of the note needs to have a single slash through it.
Also, the note head for a China cymbal he notes by having a standard cross note
head, but with a box around it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for making these changes?
I have no experience of doing this but you might want to start here
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/modifying-stencils
The percussion notes are all here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/percussion-notes
I've just noticed that most of the note heads on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/percussion-notes
here are semibreves insetad of I assume lots of crosses and circles etc.
The PDF from 2.15.22 also show this.
Can someone verify this?
In the documentation, namely
Documentation/included/percussion-chart.ly
the notes are defined as whole notes:
\drummode {
\cadenzaOn
bda1^\markup { \center-align "acousticbassdrum: bda" }
As whole notes make not much sense in percussion parts IMHO,
a change to
bda4^\....
should Do The Right Thing (tm).
