I fiddled a bit with the values and nearly got the look, I like (some more experimenting is needed, especially with the distance between the upper line of the drum staff and the rhythm staff, but this is a huge step in the right direction). Where do you actually find that kind of stuff? I think, I've looked really hard into the documentation, but I had no idea, where to start.

Setting accent notes in a drum staff
Hi everybody, I'm trying to use Lilypond to typeset drum notes for a bigband. While this might not be the area, where Lilypond shines the most, I've had considerable success so far. Now however, I'm stuck. Especially in Swing/Jazz music, notation is sometimes quite minimal, the whole sheet consisting more or less only of \repeat percent something. What is quite common is the notation of unison accents as some kind of second voice above the line (see [0] for an example. The small notes on top of the line are basically the rhythm of what the whole band plays at that point. The notes are quite a bit smaller than what would be on the line, if there was something). Can I somehow (preferably easily) do something like this in Lilypond? If yes: how? If read the documentation and browsed throught snippets etc., but I don't seem to use the right search terms (quite possible, as I have no idea, how those notes are actually called). Thanks for your patience. So long, Markus [0] http://test.slash-me.net/accents.jpg ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I create lead sheets with rhythmic cues using something like:
(this is older 2.16-ish syntax, but should still work with 2.18.
Adjust some of these values to suit your taste.)
rhythmMarks = \new RhythmicStaff \with {
\override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #0
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
\override StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
\override BarLine #'stencil = ##f
\override NoteHead #'style = #'slash
\override TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'staff-staff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 0)
(minimum-distance . 0)
(padding . 1.0))
} {
\set fontSize = #-4
\stemDown
s1*4
s1*20
s1*16
s1*16
s1*8
r4 b- r r | r4 b- r r
r8 b b[ b] b[ b] b[ b] | b r r b ~ b2
} % rhythmMarks
I then include that as simultaneous music, something like:
\score {
\harmonies
\rhythmMarks
\melody
}
I hope that gives you some ideas. I'm attaching a lame example that I had
sitting around already. The rhythms variable is the important one.
There's a lot of other cruft in the other simultaneous contexts
that isn't strictly pertinent to your question.
