Hello everyone,
I have noticed that use of a custom percussion staff is different from
the manner in which one of the pre-defined percussion staves is used:
partBongo = \new DrumStaff \with {
drumStyleTable = #bongos-style
} \staffBongo
... compared to ...
partPercCustom = \new DrumStaff \with {
% -- drumStyleTable = #defPercCustom % -- this doesn't work
} <<
\set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table defPercCustom)
% -- works this way
Is this just the way it is, or am I missing something?
bongos-style (and its kin) are hash tables, which is what drumStyleTable
expects. The documentation shows defining a custom drum style as an
alist and then converting it to a hash table when you use it. An
alternative would be to do the conversion when you define the style:
%%%%
\version "2.22.0"
custom-drum-style =
#(alist->hash-table
'((bassdrum default "tenuto" -1)
(snare diamond #f 0)
(hihat cross #f 1)))
\new DrumStaff
\with { drumStyleTable = #custom-drum-style }
\drummode { bd4 hh8 8 sn2 }
%%%%
