but this sounds like you *do* have some knowledge/interest/demand for
it? What would you input, and what would the output look like? It seems
that all you would need is a few d-DirectivePuts to put things like
\drummode at the right places, but you would have to know what the thing
should look like (both in the Display and in the final typeset).

I will have to create a template for each case. I think their was a script to convert bass clef to a basic drum notation. I should look for that.

What If I scripted some buttons to correspond to the various drums. Could they show an svg of the drum? then they would enter in rhythmic values to fill the bar. The svg buttons move the cursor to the different notes.

I have a question about the templates. Timpani has a range of about 5th. This range varies depending on the size. Would I say the range is F3-A2? Each drum can be tuned but it takes about a measure or two for the musician to retune the drum head.
20": F3‑C4
23": D3‑A3
26‑25": Bb2‑F3
29‑28": F2‑C3
32‑30": D2‑A2
