I have an orchestral film cue where a percussionist waits a few bars, plays a few glockenspiel notes, waits several bars, and switches to suspended cymbal for a roll. It seems a waste of score space to make it two separate staves. But I am having trouble figuring out how to switch from \drummode to \notemode in the same staff (or vice versa). Here's the shortest example I can come up with that illustrates the problem. Is there a way to either put melody notes in a DrumStaff, or drummode in a normal Staff? The documentation led me to believe the below approach should work (not sure if that's the documentation's problem or my problem. :-) ).
Thanks again, Curt
\version "2.16.00"
\drums { ss hh \clef treble \notemode { a b c } }
