Hi Johan and welcome to the list,
Please always send a tiny example:
http://www.lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html
And, yes, pictures could be helpful too ;)
How about:
\version "2.18.2"
LH = {
\once\override NoteHead.stencil = #(lambda (grob)
ly:note-head::print (grob-interpret-markup grob
#{
\markup\musicglyph #"noteheads.d2reFunk"
#}))
}
RH = {
\once\override NoteHead.stencil = #(lambda (grob)
ly:note-head::print (grob-interpret-markup grob
#{
\markup\musicglyph #"noteheads.u2reFunk"
#}))
}
\drums {
\LH bd4 bd \RH bd bd
}
Cheers,
Pierre
