Hmm! I don't know ? What about "f"? -- "feses? What if I implement - say - 10
different note heads ?
To shorten this: LilyPond is a very good typsetter for classical music.
And it can deal with simple (no chords) drum staffs.
In contrast to all other free musical typsetters it has
musical knowlegde. I would say: A hack only because of
this case is no good idea. Perhaps if you'll later
think more about jazz/pop/... you should implement
a really sophisticated drum-chord-solution. And then I'll incorporate
this into LilyPond export. So long the user has to live with
some exportation restrictions.
--------------------------
I think 2 other things are more important:
1.) It should be possible to connect 2 of 3 notes of a chord:
<c~ e g~> <c e g>
2.) And from version-?.?.? on in staff context is no tie at all:
StaffA = \notes\relative c' {
\clef violin
<c2 e g > ~ <c e g >
}
\score {
\context Staff \StaffA
}
Bug or feature ?
