Re: notation of wind chimes

[bart deruyter]

David (Wright),

I mean the second option. There are three types of these wind chimes, wood, metallic and glass. The one of your image shows the metallic wind chime. 

I've continued searching about other percussion instruments, like conga's. Lilypond and Musescore show different things. Musescore uses a one line staff, lilypond a two-line staff. 

Confusing stuff for me.. study is needed :-) , recommendations about sources of info are still much appreciated :-).

grtz,

Bart

I don't know how others are faring, but I can't decide what you mean
by wind chimes. Are you talking about the sort of things that half the
houses in America have hanging in the porch:

or half the church praise bands have hanging off the drumkit:

or something else?
