Good for you. Most users find that the quickest way to get started with Lilypond is to quickly read the Learning Manual cover-to-cover. This introduces the basic concepts, like variables, so that when you later come across a specific problem you can easily go to the right point in the (more substantial) Notation Reference and quickly find the answer. > Toine Schreurs wrote: > > > > You have to add drummode. > > > > snflam = \drummode { > > \override Stem #'length = #4 > > \acciaccatura {sn8} > > \revert Stem #'length > > sn4 > > } > for example, instead of the final sn hit being a > quarter note (sn4), say I wanted to make it a variable to change, so writing > \snflam16 would change the final note to a 16th note, \snflam8 would change > the final note to an 8th note, etc. The way I prefer to do this is to move the sn4 out of the variable so that snflam just contains the grace note. That way, when I come to use it in the music, I just do \flam sn4, \flam sn2, or whatever. -- “I like talking to Rabbit. He talks about sensible things. He doesn't use long, difficult words, like Owl. He uses short, easy words, like ‘What about lunch?’ and ‘Help yourself, Pooh.’ I suppose, really, I ought to go and see Rabbit.” A. A. Milne, ‘The House at Pooh Corner’
