# Lilydrum (pipeband-drumming notation)
Somehow, the drums part in lilypond does not cover a notation with only right and left hands
(also known as Swiss style drum notation).
That is, right is above the line and left is below it.
In the same manner as the bagpipe.ly file included with lilypond, flams and drags are defined as a shortcut.
[Lilypond](http://lilypond.org) does not cover drum notation for pipebands out of the box.
That is, right is above the line and left is below it. \
In the same manner as the bagpipe.ly file included with Lilypond, this library allows to easily use this notation with opt-in elements.
See the [cheatsheet](./cheatsheet.pdf) ([ly](./cheatsheet.ly), [pdf](./cheatsheet.pdf)) for a handful of definitions.
There has been such a lilypond include file earlier, made by Simon Froger
(which includes all of the above).
This repository builds on work.
The original file can still be found at [http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=970](http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=970).

### Embellishments (Side Drum)
Flams and Drags can be added using `\flam` and `\drag`.
They can determine whether to be left or right by themselves for simple expressions.
