I'm not sure what do you want to achieve musically, but perhaps scaling durations is what you need? For example cymr8*2/3 = a note that looks like 8th, but its actual duration is like an 8th triplet. Try this: swing = \drummode { cymr4 cymr8*4/3 cymr8*2/3 cymr4 cymr8*4/3 cymr8*2/3 } down = \drummode { \times 2/3 { bd8 sn sn } \times 2/3 { << bd hhp >> sn sn } \times 2/3 { bd sn sn } \times 2/3 { << bd hhp >> sn sn } } \score { \new DrumStaff { << \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne << \swing \down >> } >> } } HTH, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
