Isn't open hi hat a standard notation? I'm not too adventurous in my drum parts, but I recall seeing that there are several hi hat sounds available int he standard drum kit. In the old version of LP I use (2.6.5) the documentation has a pretty good description under percussion staves...

Hi Frank, I'm doing a drum sheet in Lilypond and I would like to add the following notation on top of the hihat notes: O-- to mark an open hihat. How to do this? I guess I need to define some \start... \stop... thing? I think a regular TextSpanner would do the trick... Hope this

Sorry, I try to say it in a way that it might be added to the docs. In 5.2.1 the @refbugs (line 495 in spacing.itely on master) it states: @code{layout-set-staff-size} does not change the distance between the staff lines. Could we add a sentence: Use instead the pair fontSize =

I recommend you to read the section on Changing defaults, to learn about different ways of setting properties. In this particular case, you also have to figure out exactly what the macro \autoBeamOff does. See section Default files to learn how to find the file ...\ly\property-init.ly in your

Just got home and did a quick test... I was able to add ^\open to the standard hi-hat and get the output in the attached jpeg. Not sure if it's what you are after, or if it still works in versions later than 2.6.5. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; lilypond-user@gnu.org
