I need to set a piece of music with one five-line staff and a one-line drum staff below. I read in musixdoc about setting drum notes in a mixed score, contrasted to "normal" drum scores of only one line. I can find no mention, however, of how to produce the "normal" drum line, esp. in conjunction with the normal five-line staff. Can musixtex do it? Is there a workaround or a way to fake it?

MusixTeX _does_ support staves with another number of lines than 5. Here is an M-Tx coded example of combining an ordinary staff with a 1-line percussion staff:


Meter: C
Style: Duet

%
%  Load alternate percussion notehead defs
%
%% \input musixper

%
%  Save original musixtex defs
%
%% \let\qusav\qu\let\qupsav\qup
%% \let\cusav\cu\let\cupsav\cup
%% \let\qbsav\qb\let\qbpsav\qbp

%
%  Replace ordinary noteheads with 'X'
%
%  Quarter (incl. dotted) notes
%
%% \def\Xq{\def\qu##1{\let\qu\qusav\doqu{##1}}}
%% \def\Xqp{\def\qup##1{\let\qup\qupsav\pt{##1}\doqu{##1}}}
%
%  Beamed (incl. dotted) notes
%
%% \def\Xqb{\def\qb##1##2{\let\qb\qbsav\doqb{##1}{##2}}}
%% \def\Xqbp{\def\qbp##1##2{\let\qbp\qbpsav\pt{##1}\doqb{##1}{##2}}}
%
%  Eighth notes incl.dotted
%
%% \def\Xc{\def\cu##1{\let\cu\cusav\docu{##1}}}

%
% Skip clef drawing and provide 1 line drum staff
%
%% \\setlines{1}{1}\
%% \\setclefsymbol{1}{\empty}\
