I don't understand why you're writing a percussion score in \notemode,
i.e. with common Voice, Staff etc.
We do have \drummode, DrumVoice, DrumStaff and the possibility to
customize the appearance:
#(define my-style
'((bassdrum default accent -1)
(splashcymbal xcircle #f 3)
(tamtam cross #f -5)))
one = \drummode { s1 s2 bd s1 s2 bd }
two = \drummode { s1 s2 cyms2 s1 s2 cyms2 }
three = \drummode { s1 s2 tt2 s1 s2 tt2 }
four = \drummode {
\clef "varpercussion"
\time 4/4
R1 |
r2 s2\f |
R1 |
r2 s2 |
}
\new DrumStaff
\with {
drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table my-style)
}
\new DrumVoice << \one \two \three \four >>
