Thanks Mats. Below is what I ended up with. It's a simple ly file that
generates headless stems for rhythmic studies. Students take a known
song and fill in the noteheads to help learn rhythm, especially
syncopation. I've made a few more like this dealing with sixteenth notes
and triplets. This one is for eighth notes and works for swing rhythms
as well. I like the beam a bit higher as it helps to differentiate the
beam from the staff.
\version "2.8.1"
#(set-global-staff-size 24)
up = \drummode {
\time 2/2
\override Beam #'thickness = #0.55
\override SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #1.20
\override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
\override Stem #'details #'beamed-lengths = #'(5 6 7)
\repeat unfold 352 sn8
}
down = \drummode {
\repeat unfold 176 bd4
}
\new DrumStaff <<
\new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up }
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
>>
