Re: Notation question

[Mats Bengtsson]

A DrumStaff context can only contain DrumVoice contexts, not
Lyrics contexts, so you confuse LilyPond.
The following should work better:

drumContents = {
  <<
       %%\set DrumStaff.instrument = #"Drums"
       \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up }
       \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
  >>
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Lyrics \sticking
    \new DrumStaff { \drumContents }
  >>
}
