Hi; On a related note (pun not intended!) I have seen a Tuba solo score where there is a notation to "slap" the instrument, shown as literally a "slap" like a "rit." or ".cresc.". I was wondering how to engrave that...other than the obvious... Thanks, Ken Wolcott On Mon, Oct 16, 2023 at 1:01

Is there a glyph? (or something) to indicate a clap in a vocal piece?

I'm transcribing a pub song, and at one point, there's a lyric "(clap)(clap)" with "X X" on the staff. I've seen that one can have a "\drum {hc4 hc4}" but I want something like a layout of "| e4. a4. | X X g8 |" in 6/8 time all on one staff -- which I guess in MIDI would probably be something
