Carl...thanks a lot for the tips!  Let me work on these, try to get things 
looking more streamlined and idiomatic in lilypondish, then I'll research how 
to submit them as suggestions to the development team.

I'm very interested in using lilypond for drum score, as I am a drummer.

[James' reply:] 
The percussion section of the Notation Reference could do with a bit of an 
overhaul. The problem (as one of the main doc writers) is that I am not a 
percussionist and have very limited knowledge of this area of music notation to 
make this section more useful to others. So any help you can give me (I can do 
the hard work in terms of updating the documentation files for instance) in 
terms of what would be useful to percussionists or how we could improve the 
examples or even use some pieces of your own examples would be welcome.
