Re: basic question regarding \drummode

Shouldn't any tonal parts be a specific instrument (such as a vibraphone)? Each instrument should have it's own staff, regardless if more than one voice is handled by a single performer. In the case the players are moving around, and say there are times where player A plays the snare while

Two similar articulations on one note in one voice

basic question regarding \drummode

Hi all, What's the best way to handle a percussion part that has a lot of pitched and un-pitched material? The part is declared with just one \DrumStaff, but then \switchInstrument seems powerless to take it out of \drummode. Seems like various workarounds are possible, but I bet someone has a
