Thank you so much for your help!! I think the most relevant part of the Notation Reference: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-percussion I'm not sure how to interpret what the manual says, which seems to be moving the low tom up to the top space (among other things). But I'd give it a shot if you included a minimal example (say, two bars) of music you are trying to engrave. Custom percussion staves If you do not like any of the predefined lists you can define your own list at the top of your file. #(define mydrums '( (bassdrum default #f -1) (snare default #f 0) (hihat cross #f 1) (halfopenhihat cross "halfopen" 1) (pedalhihat xcircle "stopped" 2) (lowtom diamond #f 3))) up = \drummode { hh8 hh hhho hhho hhp4 hhp } down = \drummode { bd4 sn bd toml8 toml } \new DrumStaff << \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums) \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up } \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down } >> [image: [image of music]] <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/c0/lily-699f6fc0.ly> HTH, David Elaine Alt 415 . 341 .4954 "*Confusion is highly underrated*" ela...@flaminghakama.com self-immolation.info skype: flaming_hakama Producer ~ Composer ~ Instrumentalist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
