I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for. Something like the attached
sample?
It has been created by using the Frescobaldi SATB choir template and replacing
all Staff by RhythmicStaff. One could also use DrumStaff \with { drumStyleTable
= #percussion-style \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1 }
If you look for something different then maybe a drawn picture would help.
Kind regards,
Michael
