Re: creating a rhythm click track

[Stjepan Horvat]

I was creating click track without melody for my big band drummer..so he would be in tempo..it sounds nice..it swings and it has triangle on new part of the score..if you want i can send it to you..

I often do this with music that has a chords track.

makeUnfold =
#(define-music-function (parser location name mus) (ly:music? ly:music?)
  (let ((r (make-repeated-music "unfold")))
    (set! (ly:music-property r 'element) mus)
    (set! (ly:music-property r 'repeat-count)
          (ly:moment-main-numerator (ly:music-length name)))
    r))

harmonics = \chordmode {
  c2 g | c g | f1 | c2 g |
}

% Create metronome ticks. This example assumes 4/4 .
ticktock = \drummode {
  \makeUnfold \unfoldRepeats \harmonics {
    hiwoodblock 4 lowoodblock lowoodblock lowoodblock
  }
}

\harmonics goes in a Chord staff, and \ticktock goes in a DrumStaff.

HTH,
