Hi Aaron, Thank you for replying. This could really help. I'm going to look at it when I get home, but what I can tell you right now is that I've experimented with making a custom pitch name language file — not remotely resembling your solution — and I came across one big problem: it was a work-wide change that affected all staves across all included files.
This is only a problem because most of our pieces have one or two staves for flutes. So I have to keep the custom pitch names local; otherwise, every time I need to play a b, if I'm not mistaken, I'd need to type "trh" instead of "b" or "si". However, this line in your code: drumPitchTable = #(alist->hash-table midiDrumPitches) Makes me think your solution IS local rather than the global scope. Is this correct? Like do pitch names remain unchanged for voices used in staves where this line is not present? Sorry if the question is silly; I can't run the code you adapted or the one provided in the link right now.
