these I have been able to correct using a #(define block.  There are, however,
some things I have not yet been able to crack.

First, for hi-hat, the notation for open and closed are correct, but for the
half-open he would like to appear exactly like the open hi-hat notation, except
the o above the stem of the note needs to have a single slash through it.

Also, the note head for a China cymbal he notes by having a standard cross note
head, but with a box around it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for making these changes?

I have no experience of doing this but you might want to start here

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/modifying-stencils

The percussion notes are all here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/percussion-notes

I've just noticed that most of the note heads on

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/percussion-notes

here are semibreves insetad of I assume lots of crosses and circles etc.

The PDF from 2.15.22 also show this.

Can someone verify this?


In the documentation, namely

Documentation/included/percussion-chart.ly

the notes are defined as whole notes:

\drummode {
   \cadenzaOn

   bda1^\markup { \center-align acousticbassdrum: bda }

As whole notes make not much sense in percussion parts IMHO,
a change to
  bda4^\

should Do The Right Thing (tm).
