Just add \once to your lines \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 5 48) and \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 3 28) You might want to increase the tuplet bracket padding, because the 7 crashes into the middle 3 in bar 2. inline:

Hi Levi, The example drum notation you give shows how to use the short form of polyphonic notation when entering percussion, with the DrumVoices instantiated by hand first. You might find verbose polyphonic notation easier to use; both forms are given here:

We also use add9, add11, and occasionally add#4 and others. Are add chords supported in Lilypond? Sure. \version 2.10.33 test = \chordmode { c1:3.5.9 c:3.5.11 c:7.11+ } % to use your example \score { \new ChordNames \test \new Staff \test \layout { ragged-right = ##t } }
