The notehead.cc file is very cryptic for me and I don't see how it could help 
me since I don't see anywhere a definition of 'cross or 'diamond.
Note_head::print is too abstract for me. I don't get how 'cross tells 
ly:note-head:print to print the cross-head stencils from the feta font.

Yes, I think so too, but if even you don't know what to do I think I should 
rather drop this problem for now.

Hmm... maybe it is possible to write a function that checks on the position of 
each note in the drumStyle hashtable and override the style accordingly?!

Don't worry, your input always gives me some new aspects to think about. ;)

Apparently the sample png I sent along was too big :')
I reduced and sent it again. This it should have gone through.
