Thanks Graham,
Following your suggestion I used
#(define mydrums '(
.
.
.
(halfopenhihat cross #f 4)))
and
hhho^\markup {\combine o -}
where the hyphen is a UTF-8 version, but I still have a few questions...
1. The small o I used is not quite the same as the "open" symbol. Is there
some way for me to replace the small o with the "open" symbol.
2. The UTF-8 hyphen isn't quite centered with respect to the o. Is there a
way to "center justify" each of them?
3. And finally, is there a way to include this in my halfopenhihat
definition? I tried
(halfopenhihat cross \markup {\combine o -} 4)
but it didn't work and I'm sure I do not understand the syntax.
TIA,
Pete
