Mapping custom drum notes to MIDI notes?

[Peter Crighton]

I’m in the process of builidng my own custom drumset. No problems here with notation, but I’m unable to define custom MIDI notes.

\version "2.19.13"

drumPitchNames = #'((bassdrum . bassdrum)

                    (bd . bassdrum)

                    (icebell . icebell)

                    (ice . icebell))

midiDrumPitches = #`((bassdrum . ,(ly:make-pitch -3 6 NATURAL))

                     (icebell . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 4 NATURAL)))

#(define drums '((bassdrum default #f -3)

                 (icebell diamond #f 7)))

\score {

  {

    \new DrumStaff \with { drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table drums) } <<

      \new DrumVoice \drummode {

        bd4 bd bd ice

      }

    >>

  }

  \layout {}

  \midi {}

}

It seems that midiDrumPitches doesn’t get applied. Do I have to do that manually? What else could be wrong?
