That is strange, why do you need to do the \new DrumVoice-lines in drummode? Example of 2.5.1.3: \new DrumStaff << \new DrumVoice = "1" { s1 *2 } \new DrumVoice = "2" { s1 *2 } \drummode { bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 << { \repeat unfold 16 hh16 } \\ { bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 } >> } >> in "normal" mode they is not needed: \version "2.11.52" \new Staff \relative g' { f4 c' f, c' << { \repeat unfold 16 e16 } \\ { f,4 c'4 f,4 c'4 } >> } This "looks" about the same. > count as the right way, or is it still the wrong way?

Ok, what happens if you replace the bd4 sn4 etc. with the snares from last example of 2.5.1.2 ? By doing it this way, a tie is missing: \version "2.11.52" \new DrumStaff << \new DrumVoice = "1" { s1 *2 } \new DrumVoice = "2" { s1 *2 } \drummode { sn16 sn8 sn16 sn8 sn8:32~ sn8 sn8 sn4:32~ | << { \repeat unfold 16 hh16 } \\ { sn4 sn8 sn16 sn16 sn4 r4 } >> } >> Regards /Karl _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
