Re: Drum notation and style

[Adrian]

Thanks for all the help, that worked. I just have a couple of quick questions regarding the current results:

First, how would you create extra spacing between staves, such as the first two above?

Second, and this comes after the reading an article on notating drum rolls (notating rolls – Adam Holmes (adamholmesmusic.com), is it possible to create a "z" stem for buzz rolls? 

Also, if there is anyone well versed in percussion notation, is the above example of a drum roll appropriate, acceptable?

Thanks

Sorry, my bad I did a copy-paste of your message without checking.

\override Lyrics.LyricText.font-name = "Font Name"

(LyricText, not LyricsText)

By the way if you use Frescobaldi the autocomplete should highlight/give you the correct syntax.

And the name of the grobs are given in each section of the Notation Reference manual (See also > Internals Reference)

Kind regards,
