Re: News for Typesetting Drumsets with Lily

[Rune Zedeler]

You have forgot the important "which Lily-version do I use"-information.
I assume 1.4.4.

No this is not absolutely clear - I do not understand what you mean.
It is true that drum-pitch.ly overrides the settings done in i.e.
deutsch.ly - so that you have to include the right file just before you
use it. But it is not true that you cannot use drum-pitch together with
notes.

If I have not understood you correctly please explain.
Attached example (with correct midi output) with both drums and notes.

No, then the midi output would be wrong. Why would you do this?

It IS shifted up and down. Look at the example.
Notice the two score blocks. One for the paper and one for the midi.

Yes. It works in i.e. timidity.
