# Lilydrum (pipeband-drumming notation)
|

|
||||
Somehow, the drums part in lilypond does not cover a notation with only right and left hands
|

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.

There has been such a lilypond include file earlier, made by Simon Froger

## How to use
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
To make a pipeband drum staff simply use
|
||||
`\new PipeBandDrumStaff`.
|
||||
This creates a DrumStaff with a few specific changes.
|
||||
Add the following line to include the definitions for use in your document:
|
||||
```lilypond
|
||||
\include "[path]/lilydrum.ly"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
!! Note that you do not need to use PipeBandDrumStaff to use the rest.
|
||||
The music needs to be defined in a `\drummode` environment.
|
||||
You can get this in two ways:
|
||||
```lilypond
|
||||
\new DrumStaff {
|
||||
\drummode {
|
||||
[music]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
or (simply)
|
||||
```lilypond
|
||||
\drums {
|
||||
[music]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Music
|
||||
In pipeband music there is a distinction between left-hand and right-hand strokes.
|
||||
To implement this in your music you can use the `d` and `g` notenames.
|
||||
* `d`: (*droite*) right hand
|
||||
* `g`: (*gauche*) left hand
|
||||
|
||||
*You can still use the regular drumcharacters (such as `sn` or `bd`) in your music.*
|
||||
|
||||
### Pipeband DrumStaff
|
||||
To make a pipeband drumstaff (a `DrumStaff` with a few specific changes) you can use
|
||||
```lilypond
|
||||
\new PipeBandDrumStaff
|
||||
```
|
||||
*You do not need to use PipeBandDrumStaff to use the music definitions.*
|
||||
|
||||
Music needs to be defined in `\drummode`.
|
||||
You can use every regular drum character (such as `sn` or `bd`), as `d` and `g` are appended to the list.

### Embellishments (Side)
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
Flams and Drags can be added using `\flam` and `\drag`. They can determine whether to be left or right by themselves for simple expressions.
|
||||
### 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.
|
||||
|
||||
If a certain hand is needed they can be inserted directly by appending `d` or `g` to `flam`,`drag`,..
|
||||
A `\flam d` is equal to `\flamd d`.
|
||||
e.g. a `\flam d` is equal to `\flamd d`.
|
||||
|
||||
There are currently 4 such shortcuts:
|
||||
* `\flam` - A Flam
|
||||
* `\drag` - A Drag
|
||||
* `\drag` - A Drag
|
||||
* `\ruff` - A Ruff
|
||||
* `\sruff` - A Swiss Ruff
|
||||
|
||||
### Unison Brackets (Side)
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
Unison Brackets are triggered using `\dr`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Unison Brackets (Side Drum)
|
||||
Unison Brackets are triggered using `\dr`.
|
||||
They need an endpoint which is defined by `\fr`.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `\tutti` for this aswell.
|
||||
It takes a music expression which is automagically put under brackets.
|
||||
|
||||
Appending `dr` to the `\flam`'s or `\drag`'s triggers the unison bracket.
|
||||
e.g. `\flamdr` of `\draggdr`.
|
||||
e.g. `\flamdr` or `\draggdr`.

-------------
|
||||
A few flourishes have been added, most are from the [EUSPBA](http://www.euspba.org/resource/music/EUSPBA_drums_tenorflourishing.pdf):
|
||||
* `\flourish`
|
||||
* `\splitTheFeather`
