I have just started to use lilypond to set some drum scores. As I need to
add a
few patches of backing vocals, I'd attempted to add extra (normal) staffs
at
those places, however, lilypond seems to refuse doing that.
Example:
\score {
\new DrumStaff <<
\drummode {
bd4 sn bd bd4 <<
{ bd bd8 sn sn4 bd }
\new Staff { c8 d8 e8 f8 g4 c4 } >>
} >>
}
This produces an error like
t.ly:23:27: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
\new Staff {
c8 d8 e8 f8 g4 c4 }
t.ly:18:2: error: errors found, ignoring music expression
I suppose that either the \drummode or the \DrumStaff context do not allow
this.
