I used a custom two-line staff for the two congas -- twice the
distance between lines than a normal staff. This allowed me to have
five different pitch positions that still look like they belong to
the top conga line -- the (invisible) line above the the, the space
above the staff line, on the line, the space below the line, and the
(invisible) line below the the staff line. I put in five descending
eighths with gliss lines connecting the noteheads, and the direction:
"gliss w/elbow pressure on drum."
The only thing I don't like about this notation is that the final
notehead ends up below the staff line, when pitch-wise it's the same
as a regular stroke (i.e., no elbow pressure). But also I wanted the
noteheads to all be as close to the line as possible so it was clear
we're talking about a technique executed on a single conga drum.
Cheers,
- Darcy
