Adding notes above drumstaff

Hi everyone - I'm stuck with an issue here. I'm trying to get proper "kicks over time" notation in lilypond -- essentially small, normal noteheads above a drum staff (where g would be in treble clef). I'm afraid I'm not sure how to go about this. . .and my attempts to alter the cymr notehead to

Hi Peter This is a case where \tweak is needed. All these markups occur at the same musical moment, so \override affects them all. Also the property to change is 'outside-staff-priority. This does what you want: { c'' -\tweak #'outside-staff-priority #200 ^\markup{\natural} -\tweak #'
