Re: addl. normal staff (ossia) in drummode or DrumStaff context

[Uwe Falke]

Ah, Trevor, the simple example worked well with your advice (thanks again),
but I am lost in real life ...:
\score {
\new DrumStaff <<
%% done some redefinitions, hope that doesn't affect anything, omitted  
here ...
%  \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)
  \new DrumVoice = "1" { s1*2 }
  \new DrumVoice = "2" { s1*2 }
  \drummode {
    << { \repeat unfold 8 cymr8 } \\ { bd4 sn4 bd4 sn4 } >>
%Reggae
    <<
      << { r1 } \\ { bd4 bd bd bd } >>
      \notemode { \new staff { r4 a4 fis2 } }
    >>
    << { r1 } \\ { bd4 bd bd bd8 sn8 } >>
   }
> >
}

gives error messages like
t2.ly:380:21: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns
      << { r1 } \\ {
                     bd4 bd bd bd } >>
t2.ly:380:25: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns
      << { r1 } \\ { bd4
                         bd bd bd } >>
t2.ly:380:28: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns
      << { r1 } \\ { bd4 bd
                            bd bd } >>


No new score appears ...
I seem to miss something important here ...
The code with the "\notemode" line uncommented compiles well ...
