Reworked, it works ;-) %----- \version "2.6.3"
intro = \new DrumStaff { \new DrumVoice { \override Beam #'positions = #'(5 . 5) \drummode { \stemUp \repeat volta 4 { <bd hh>8 hh hh hh <sn hh> hh <bd hh> <bd hh> hh hh hh hh <sn hh> hh hh hh } } } } \score { \intro \layout {} } \score { \unfoldRepeats \intro \midi { \tempo 4 = 120 } } %----- - Assigning/defining a variable (here: "intro") must be done at the top level (i.e. not inside "\score"). - Whatever is needed to create a "voice" (here: "\new DrumVoice") will be necessary both for the layout and the midi.
