Re: Defining Drumsets

[Rick Sutphin]

I figured it out. Below is a drumStyleTable that follows the Percussive
Arts Society standard. Note, this is not complete, all I have access to
is an excerpt from "Guide to Standardized Drumset Notation".

I am curious why the Lilypond developers are using the drumStyleTable
included with Lilypond instead of the standard published by th PAS. Is
the drumStyleTable included in Lilypond more common where the developers
live? Or is it more common in the style of music that the developers
usually typeset?

#(define PAS '(
        (bassdrum       default #f              -3)
        (lowtom         default #f              -1)
        (snare          default #f              1)
        (sidestick      cross   #f              1)
        (himidtom       default #f              2)
        (hightom        default #f              3)
        (hihat          cross   #f              5)
        (openhihat      cross   "open"          5)
        (closedhihat    cross   "stopped"       5)
        (pedalhihat     cross   #f              -5)
        (crashcymbal    cross   #f              6)
        (ridecymbal     cross   #f              4)
        )
)
