You can combine two voices and use spacers instead of rests \version "2.19.81" stemUpNotes = \relative c' { s8 c4 c8 s8 s s c8 } stemDownNotes = \relative c' { b8 s4 s8 b8[ b] b s } \score { \new Staff \with { \override StaffSymbol.line-count = #1 } { \clef percussion \numericTimeSignature \autoBeamOff << \stemUpNotes \\ \stemDownNotes >> } } HTH, Elaine Alt 415 . 341 .4954 "*Confusion is highly underrated*" ela...@flaminghakama.com Producer ~ Composer ~ Instrumentalist ~ Educator -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
