Hi there!
Have any of you got any ideas of how to do drumnotation nicely?
I have made a file, drumspaper.ly with drumnotes as they are to be
printed on paper.
I will then make a file, mididrums.ly, with the same drumnames and the
pitches as they are in the general midi drums.
I have a number of problems, though.
a) Is it nessesary to copy-and-paste the drumscores like this?
\include "drumspaper.ly"
paperdrums = \notes {bd4 sn8 bd bd4 sn} %copy
\include "drumsmidi.ly"
mididrums = \notes {bd4 sn8 bd bd4 sn} %paste :-(
\score{ \notes {\paperdrums} \paper{} }
\score{ \notes {\mididrums} \midi{} }
b) when typesetting highhats it is convention to use f'^\stopped for
closed highhat and f'^\open for open highat.
Further more, the different drums are to be typeset with different types
of noteheads.
Is it possible to include such information in the pitchnames so that I
could just do {hhc8 hho hhc hho} to get X'ed notes with +'s and o's
above?
If not, what shall/can I do, then?
