Could you give a working code sample, for the syntax?
In a drumnote like bassdrum or bassdrummute or sidestick a lot of info 
is defined?
How can I define this myself.

F.e. In Djembé I would like (sorry I could not create an image file, so 
please compile it to see visual what I need) are :
\version "2.18.2"

%\relative c' {

 {
  e' b' f''
}
\addlyrics {
  bas tone slap
}

But then with 3 staff lines, percussion key, the mute token, and the use 
sidestick (ss) drum note. This last request requires the drummode as we 
use, to be able to use existing drumnotes.
So could you give an example how I would define f.e. dslapmute (Djembé 
slap mute) with abbrevation dsm?

Thanks.
