Hi Rick What I had in mind was something like:
melody = \relative c' {c c d b~ |b8 c d4 e e | s1 | d4 c b c |} comp = \drummode {\override NoteHead #'style = #'slash s1*2 | bd4 bd4. bd8 bd4 | s1 | } \score { \new Staff = "song" << \new Voice = "melody" \melody \new Voice = "comp" \comp >> } Choose a suitable drum to adjust the vertical position. However, this screws up the midi output, but I guess any solution would.
