That's a clever idea James, thank you. Although I have to say for such a simple thing I find it a waste of the extra time I will have in creating the notes for the one percussion player. For example: if I want him to make a tremolo movement from the *center* of a gong towards the *edge, *I'd have to write* c4:32 s2* in the lower stave, *s4 c4:32 s4* in middle and *s2 c4:32* in the upper stave.. instead of just putting it in one stave.
So my conclusion is that what I'm aiming for isn't yet implemented in LilyPond. Where to can I write proposals for relevant new ideas for improving LilyPond? Thanks for the help anyway!
