i) If I use the technique suggetsd by the manual for percussion staves i.e.
\score
{
\apply #(drums->paper 'drums) etc.
Then I am not able to specify other requests for the \paper context like e.g.
linewidth = 27.\cm
ii) I would like to typeset the percussion staff with a style that is widely used in italian concert band scores i.e.
- a single line staff with no symbol at the left end
- notes above the line are stemup, almost touch the line and are interpreted as snare drum notes
- rests above the line are centered some 2.5 noteheads above the line so that 1/4 rests almost touch the stave
- notes below the line are stemdown, almost touch the line and are interpreted as either bass drum or cymbals or both according to text markup
- rests below the line are treated similarly to rests above the line
- full measure rests that interest all the percussion voices lie below the line and touch it
iii) Another widely used style I would like to mimic is the following
- a 5 line staff with a bass clef
- 2nd space C is interpreted as bass drum or cymbals according to text markup
- 3rd space E is iterpreted as snare drum
Of course I am able to produce such a paper output but I would like to get the right midi output too, even when this staff is inserted into the full score.
One temporary workaround would be to specify a silent midi instrument for the voices in this staff, and I don't know how to do it.
Well, these are a lot of questions; I'll be very grateful if someone will provide even partial answers.
Thank you for your help,
Antonio
