## How to use
|
## How to use
|
||||||
---------------------
|
Add the following line to include the definitions for use in your document:
|
||||||
To make a pipeband drum staff simply use
|
```lilypond
|
||||||
`\new PipeBandDrumStaff`.
|
\include "[path]/lilydrum.ly"
|
||||||
This creates a DrumStaff with a few specific changes.
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
!! 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.
