Submitted by Thomas Morley (copied from Issue [#5032] ) :
Some general findings testing with:
~~~~
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\chords { c1 }
\chords { d }
>>
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\lyrics { foo1 }
\lyrics { bar }
>>
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\drums { hh1 }
\drums { bd }
>>
\displayLilyMusic
<<
\figures { <6> }
\figures { <7> }
>>
~~~~
returning:
~~~~
<< \new ChordNames { < c' e' g' >1 } \new ChordNames { < d' fis' a' >1 } >>
<< \lyrics { foo } \lyrics { bar } >>
<< \drums { hihat1 } \drums { bassdrum1 } >>
<< \figures { < 6 >1 } \figures { < 7 >1 } >>
~~~~
This looks ok but inconsistent to me.
In NR I've found:
"\chords { … } is a shortcut notation for \new ChordNames { \chordmode { … } }"
"\figures{ … } is a shortcut notation for \new FiguredBass { \figuremode { … }
}"
and
"The simplest way to enter percussion notes is to use the \drums command, which
creates the correct context and entry mode for percussion"
Is there any reason for displayLilyMusic returning different?
\lyrics isn't explained at all, afaik.
I'd suggest to explain \drums at the lines of \chords and \figures.
\lyrics should be deprecated or documented properly as already said on Rietveld.
