Hi everybody. I'm trying to write a drum part, but I'm not able to obtain perfectly orizontal beams.
For example when I write two eight notes, one of snare drum (corresponding to a c') and the other of bass drum (e), their connection beam is oblique. I would like to obtain the snare drum stem longer, in a way to connect it with the bass drum note with an horizontal beam. I have read this option at page 201 of the lilypond manual: \override Stem #length = #12, but it doesen't work, I don't know why. Here you are my code: #(set-global-staff-size 20) #(set-default-paper-size "a4") % - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My Set #(define canetadrums '( (bassdrum default #f -4) (snare default #f 1) (hihat cross #f 5) (openhihat cross #f 5) (halfopenhihat xcircle #f 5) (closedhihat cross #f 5) (crashcymbal cross #f 7) (pedalhihat cross #f -6) (lowtom default #f -1))) % - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - End of My Set \new DrumStaff { \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table canetadrums) \tempo 4. = 57 \time 12/8 \drummode { r1 r8 \acciaccatura sn8 sn16 [ \acciaccatura sn8 sn16 r8 \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 \acciaccatura sn8 sn16 \acciaccatura sn8 sn16 ] << \new DrumVoice { \stemUp cymc8 \repeat unfold 10 hhho cymc } \new DrumVoice { \stemDown bd8. bd8 bd16 sn8 [r bd] bd [bd16 bd r bd] sn8 bd sn } >> } } Can anyone help me? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Drum-parts-and-horizontal-beams-tp20074779p20074779.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
