This is an interesting approach and it seems like I should be able to do what I
want with it... I'm not entirely sure I understand why it works though, why the
simultaneous rests create the tie on the snares ? I'm too new to both lilypond
and music so please forgive my naiveness.
I would just need to figure out how to put all the rests in a variable too so
that I would not have to have them explicitly typed so many times:
Thank you so much for your response!
Here is sort of how it would go:
% for a DrumVoice
A = \drummode { sn8 sn8 }
B = \drummode { sn8. sn16 }
C = \drummode { sn16 sn8. }
\score {
\new DrumStaff {
\new DrumVoice {
\time 2/4
<< { \A \A | s2 |\A \B | s2 |\A \C } { s8 s~ s s | s2 | s8 s~ s s | s2 | s8 s~
s s } >>
}
}
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
