I think, as a reference, Samuel Adler’s Study of Orchestration is still a valuable tool.
But for my students and quick questions, I always recommend the VSL Academy: https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Academy There you can find useful information on standard notation. In your case, it though does not state anything… But as a composer, I would place one note below and one above and use gliss. in order to produce the typical effect (I’m thinking of the bell tree effect)? Keep in mind: David’s comment is right. Check what you intend and then use the right instrument name. The best reference is always a talk to a percussionist. They know that stuff better than the composers (and the orchestrators, too). Best Raphael.

I'm not sure if it's correct though. The Dutch translation of "wind chimes" I found on google translate was "wind klokkenspel", which sounds very unnatural, I assumed it just combined two words, wind and chimes, but Musescore seems to use the same. There is a bug in the instrument naming, it shows "wiind" (double i), which is a typo, but if that's a typo, chances are it is completely wrong too. Musescore shows a single line staff, I hope that is correct. this is not a lilypond-specific question, but I guess I might find something here :-) . I'm writing down some music I first made in Ardour, with orchestral sample libraries. I'm not quite familiar with percussion notation. I make use of wind chimes in the music. it already seems impossible to find a good translation for it in Dutch but finding a description of how to write it down seems too much for google :-p. If someone here knows of a good, in depth online reference about the rules of percussion notation in general, and/or about how to write something like wind chimes, I'd very much appreciate it. I don't know how others are faring, but I can't decide what you mean by wind chimes. Are you talking about the sort of things that half the houses in America have hanging in the porch: http://www.shopsteins.com/magento/media/catalog/category/wind-chimes.jpg or half the church praise bands have hanging off the drumkit: http://www.sabian.com/img/cymbals/61174a-24-bar-chimes-aluminum_full.png or something else?
