Hi all,
I wanted to add new pitches for percussion, eg : a second crash cymbal.
So i copied the drumPitchNames section from drumpitch-init.ly into my
document, then added two new lines :
drumPitchNames =
#'(
(crashcymbalbis . crashcymbalbis)
(cymk . crashcymbalbis)
% then copied here all other lines
.....
)
(I also have a section 'myDrums' as explained in doc to set all my note
heads & positions.)
The question is : there is a syntaxic way to ADD my new pitch to the
default drumPitchNames structure rather than COPY it all ?? (and so
benefit of later modifications in distributed file, reduce/simplify my
doc length, etc...)
Thanks,
L.
You can create your own "definitions.ly" file as described in the
Learning Manual here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Style-sheets#Style-sheets
Then you just have to put \include "definitions.ly" at the top of your
documents.
I like to put the definitions file in my $HOME directory because I found
that if I put it in the directory with the other lilypond program files
it kept getting deleted when I upgraded lilypond. If you put it in the
home directory, be sure to include the home directory in your lilypond
command:
lilypond --include=$HOME filename.ly
This is the command on Linux anyway. I don't recall which OS you're
using. You'll have to adjust if you're on Mac or Windows (actually I
have no idea how to do this on Windows...)
