I'm interested in making a custom drum mode that more accurately reflects
the rules in Weinberg's Guide To Standardized Drumset Notation.  Some of the
pieces seem to be straightforward, others not so much.  I made an example
file that was as close as I could get it, but there are a number of problems
with my approach.  In particular, one notehead uses custom postscript; two
others use standard lilypond noteheads that aren't quite right; and there
are other expressive marks or articulations that aren't 100%.  So not only
am I not getting exactly the output I want, it's also moderately difficult
to enter the notes themselves in some cases.

Has anyone already looked into updating lilypond's drum features to be
compliant with GSDN?  If not, is there anyone out there that's put extensive
time/effort into customizing their drum modes that would be willing to share
their work so I might see best (or better!) practices on how to approach
this?

I could also post my example file, but it's a little big (3.8k, 97 lines)
and I'm not sure if it's kosher to just include it.

Thanks in advance...
