Do you mean something like the top line in this example
(which is a minor modification of the example called drums.ly
in the Regression Tests document).

Dear all,
I am now getting confident enough with Lilypond to use it for writing
scores for larger bands, currently a nine piece jazz band for example,
and find the software excellent. One area I am not entirely confident in
is the writing of drum music; the latest score I did had the transcribed
drums set out note for note (as it were), but I was sure this was not
the best way to present music to a drummer. So I asked one of the good
drummers about here for his advice, which he gave, and he also showed me
many examples of good big band drum scores, and some bad ones.
All of this was a great help, and all appears easily doable in Lilypond
except for one thing: The general rhythm of the dominant melodic line in
the piece was always written in the space above the top line on the drum
score, allowing the drummer to see where accents might be placed without
explicitly writing out the entire drum part for him. The notes on this
line can be of any duration. Based on this information he can do his own
thing without needing a cluttered drum part, which makes perfect sense.
I tried to achieve this in Lilypond 2.2.5 by adding an extra (standard)
voice to the DrumStaff, but this ended up with two separate staves. Is
there any way to achieve this? I also thought about redefining a
drumkit, but I am not sure if e.g. moving a tom to the space above the
top line would work since the toms appear unable to take on a value
greater than a quarter note. Ideally the notes should behave like those
in a standard voice.
Thanks again for any advice, and advice given in the past, it is much
appreciated.
Jennifer
