Hi Levi,

The example drum notation you give shows how to use the short form of 
polyphonic notation when entering percussion, with the DrumVoices 
"instantiated by hand first".

You might find verbose polyphonic notation easier to use; both forms are 
given here:

The {s1 *2 } means simply a semibreve ('whole note') skip, multiplied by 
two.
