Hello Alexander, the \drums command implicitly creates a new DrumStaff, so I recommend using \drummode for this purpose. If you have basic patterns, which shall receive "random" ties, you can create SimultaneousMusic with a << >> construct and overlay the patterns with the needed ties: --sni

Hi all, For study purposes, i want to do 128 rithmic patterns composed of 7 basic rithmic patterns combined via a tie. Rather than writing the 128 patterns separately I'd love to write the basic 7 as variables and then just reuse them. Say that I write: A = \drums { sn8 sn8 } How could I w

Thanks, yes that makes sense from a fret number point of view. Unfortunately from a violinist/fiddler point of view, the semitone notation does no good. For example, on a violin, in the simplest 1st position: (2nd string) A string: A open, Bb/B 1st finger, C/C# 2nd finger, D 3rd finger, E 4th fi

Curt, Thank you for postscript code. Wow, wonderful. My plan is not to use it with score pitch (note). It was intended as sort of a logo to put it onto the \header. I can use fishA or fishB for that purpose.  If an eye present in the fish (use eight-note) will be perfect. Emanuel, Ming.

Here's something like that, but using \postscript instead of \path. I can't get \path at the right origin. It seems to ignore an initial "moveto". Even \postscript seems to set the origin differently depending on which note the markup goes on (hence two versions of the markup below). Cheers, C
