Thank you Martín,
That snippet has helped enormously. I had tried to incorporate
drumStyleTable earlier but it didn't work the way I was using it. I
tried StaffSymbol.line-count = #1 and that looks good, too :)
Cheers!

Oops, missed a couple of curly braces:
\context DrumStaff = "bongo"
\with
{
\override StaffSymbol.line-count = #2
drumStyleTable = #bongos-style
instrumentName = \markup { Bongo }
shortInstrumentName = \markup { Bng. }
}
{
\drummode

boh4 bol boh bol
}

Well, I don't use the RhythmicStaff for bongos and wouldn't
recommend it either. What I use looks something like this:
\context DrumStaff = "bongo"
\with
{
\override StaffSymbol.line-count = #2
drumStyleTable = #bongos-style
instrumentName = \markup { Bongo }
shortInstrumentName = \markup { Bng. }
}
\drummode
{
boh4 bol boh bol
}
Perhaps you'll find this esthetically pleasing as well ;-). With
this setup I haven't had any issues with MIDI. You don't even have
to manually select any MIDI instrument or do any extra
configuration. At least for me, this "just works" and is
notationally correct.
Cheers,
Martín.

Hello Martin,
No, I can use DrumStaff. I'm still experimenting with
LilyPond, finding out what works easily and what doesn't.
Aesthetically, a RhythmicStaff looks better, so if it's
something I can accomplish without too much effort (~1 day), I
would delve deeper.
Since posting I have found that Drum_note_performer will
output MIDI, but it's a soft piano sound, so I am now stuck at
this point.
Thanks.

Hello,
is there any reason for not using DrumStaff if that works
fine for MIDI?

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to use a percussion staff for a bongo part
in a score.
staffBongo = \drummode {
boh4_\markup { \sans boh } boho8 bohm8 % -- and so on...
}
partBongo = \new RhythmicStaff \with {
} \staffBongo
doesn't output any MIDI. Note that using a DrumStaff works
fine. The contexts under \midi {} are the same for both
DrumStaff and RhythmicStaff. What am I doing that is
incorrect, please?
Thanks.
