Could someone please explain Lilypond percussion notation vs. Standard
percussion notation (if there is such a thing). I have seen several examples in
books that are different from Lilypond.
There seems to be no such thing like a standard. Some things are mostly
agreed on (normal note heads in lowest space of the staff for bass drum,
same in the third-to-lowest for snare drum…) but some things aren’t (how
to write toms and cymbals and various other instruments, write chords or
polyphonic (or mix it), how to write the equivalent of fingerings for
hands R/L (I don’t know a better term)). Timpani rolls can be notated as
(stem) tremolo (c1:32) or as trill or trill spanner, rolls across
several bars with or without ties (though one timpanist I talked to
prefers tremolo and ties).
I’m not a percussionist but that’s my impression after talking to some
percussionists/drummers.
I’m sure it is possible to get LilyPond to use a different notation but
since I’ve never done that I don’t know how.
