Re: location of rests and bar alignment between staffs

[Damian leGassick]

for synchronized staves you need to do something like this:


\version "2.11.43"
\header {
        tagline = ""
}


#(define mydrums '(
   (bassdrum           default #f      -1)
   (acousticbassdrum   default #f      1)
   (hihat              cross   #f      -1)
   (closedhihat        cross   #f      1)
   (snare              harmonic    #f  -1)
   (acousticsnare      harmonic    #f  1)
   )
)

drumOne = \drummode {
   \override Beam  #'positions = #'(3 . 3)
   sn4._\markup{!} sn8[r8 sna8]^\markup {signal} r8[r8 sn8] r8[r8  
sna8] sn4. hh8[r8 hhc8] hh4. r4.
   \bar "|:" bd4. hh8[r8 hhc8] bd8[r8 sna8] sn4. bd4. hh4. bd8[r8  
sna8] sn4. \bar ":|"
}

drumTwo = \drummode {
   \override Beam  #'positions = #'(3 . 3)
   s1. s1. \bar "|:" hh4._\markup{*palm slap} sn8[r8 sn8] r2. sn4. _ 
\markup{!} sn4. _\markup{!} hh8[r8 hhc8] r4. \bar ":|"
}




\score {
        <<
                \new DrumStaff <<
                   \override DrumStaff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
                   \override DrumStaff.BarLine #'bar-size = #4
                   \time 12/8
                   \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)
		   \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \set Staff.instrumentName = "Drum 1"  
\drumOne }
                >>

                \new DrumStaff <<
                   \override DrumStaff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
                   \override DrumStaff.BarLine #'bar-size = #4
                   \time 12/8
                   \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)
		   \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \set Staff.instrumentName = "Drum 2"  
\drumTwo }
                >>
                
        >>
}

for the rests, you'll need to use this format

d4\rest

(see docs on rests)

can't remember how to set this as a default, someone else will i'm sure
