 OK, but why can't you use the token name '\drums' instead of 'DRUMS'?  E.g.,
 something like this:

I'll look into this.  Still, we have tokens like 'new_lyrics',
'directionless_char', and sequences like STRING, string,
simple_string.


... it's only for error reporting, as far as my wishes go.

If one writes as Paul suggested, two things happens: "\\drums" will be used in error messages. And further, "\\drums" can be used in the grammar. I think there is a suggestion to improve error messages output even further, not having this coupling of the two uses.
