I have made a specialist notation for notating the Hungarian bagpipe
and am hoping to figure out a way to emulate this notation in
Lilypond. Since I'm relatively new to Lilypond, I may have missed
something obvious, but I have searched the documentation to try to
figure it out and not found anything obvious. Some of the percussion
type staffs come close to my needs, but aren't quite there (and aren't
notated appropriately).
I've made an example of the staff I need here:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/223919/specialStaves.png
The lower part (labeled kontra) is a staff for a chanter pipe (one of
two in this case) that has only two pitches. While I've made a special
cleff (the AE bit), I could live without it (I would prefer it though
since it makes the notation simpler to follow).
The upper part is a standard staff with treble clef and needs no
special attention. So my goal is to place this two-line staff (with
extra spacing between the two lines) below the main staff and assign a
voice to it. Since there are only two possible pitches, I need to
assign the pitches of A and E (both the ones above middle C) to those
lines. Their behavior would be like a regular staff aside from the
strange spacing and clef.
Again, I've tried to figure out how to assign custom staff types and
clefs, etc., but I think my request is unusual enough that I've just
not found anything directly relevant.
(And yes, I could use a two-staff system or two voices in one staff,
but this notation has the advantage of being clearer for the purposes
of illustrating what I need to.)
Any help, pointers in the right direction, etc. would be much
appreciated (even of the "you missed the obvious in section x.x.xx of
the documentation" sort of thing).
Best regards,
