Hi Roberto!

I never use percussions but I tried compiling your code and the
the positions are as expected and the notehead of chinesecymbal is
a triangle AFAICS (I use 2.13.21).

crashcymbala is also at right position but hotehead is wrong and I
think I know why.
According to the doc:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Percussion-notes
the "note name" of crashcymbala is "cymca", not "cymc".
So either replace crashcymbala by crashcymbal (without the final 'a'),
either replace "cymc" by "cymca".  ;)

Cheers,
Xavier
