Re: not so nice horizontal spacing

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Robert,
thanks for Your proposals.
I think a dotted quarter rest isn't a good solution.
Musicians normally don't like them because they can easily be overlooked.
And there is no keysignature, it's so called "atonal" music.

Hi Stefan,

as far as I can see, the drum beats are exactly aligned to the time in the piano staffs below - the second drum beat is aligned to 3/4, like the rests in the piano staff below.

If you separate drum and piano staffs in separate scores, the alignment will be independent from each other.

Or you could contract the first 1/4 and 1/8 rests in the piano staff into a dotted quarter rest which would save some space on the piano staffs - doesn't look very good though.

Also, the spacing might get better if you got rid of the accidentals by supplying a correct key.

Best,
Robert

Dear community,
is it possible to get a better horizontal spacing in the below quoted
snippet?
In my opinion the distance between the 1st and the 2nd drum beat is too
large.

\version "2.16.0"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }

percussion = \drummode {
\time 5/4
   r4 toml4 tomml tomh r4
   \time 6/4
  tomml toml r4 r2 r4
}

right = { \clef bass
   r4 r8  <f gis b d' e'>8-. r2 r4
   R1.
}
left = { \clef bass
   r4 r8  <fis, cis dis>8-. r2 r4
   R1.
}
\score {
   <<
   \new DrumStaff \percussion
   \new PianoStaff <<
     \new Staff \right
     \new Staff \left
   >>
 >>
}
