Re: Insert new pitches

[lucifree]

Hi,

Well in fact, i already have a base .ly that i include in all my finals 
.ly . This is inside this common .ly that i have copied the 
drumPitchNames .

But still this doesn't seem for me very clean to have to do that. I'd 
like a way to add content to a definition structure rather than copy it. 
Maybe that's simply not possible to do this with the language used by 
lilypond.
