Re: Mapping custom drum notes to MIDI notes?

[Peter Crighton]

That is not practical in my situation if I understand you correctly. I have a drumkit defined with at least 26 individual pieces in the manner written before. Some of them will share the same pitch and can have the same midi sound, but have different noteheads. But so far I’m getting only sound for the notes which are included in LilyPond by default (e.g. bassdrum, crashcymbala, etc.) whereas others (e.g. icebell, snarea, etc.) are displayed correctly, but don’t produce a MIDI note at all.

I'm not at a computer to see if this works, but could you, if there aren't too many instruments, do simultaneous voices with a midiInstrument set for each percussion instrument? It's certainly not an elegant nor robust of a solution, but it may get you what you want for now.

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?
