I think, as a reference, Samuel Adler’s Study of Orchestration is still a valuable tool.
But for my students and quick questions, I always recommend the VSL Academy:
There you can find useful information on standard notation. In your case, it though does not state anything… But as a composer,I would place one note below and one above and use gliss. in order to produce the typical effect (I’m thinking of the bell tree effect)?
Keep in mind: David’s comment is right. Check what you intend and then use the right instrument name.
The best reference is always a talk to a percussionist. They know that stuff better than the composers (and the orchestrators, too).
BestRaphael.

ok, some progress :-)
I found something with the aid of Musescore. I'm not sure if it's correct
though. The Dutch translation of "wind chimes" I found on google translate
was "wind klokkenspel", which sounds very unnatural, I assumed it just
combined two words, wind and chimes, but Musescore seems to use the same.
There is a bug in the instrument naming, it shows "wiind" (double i), which
is a typo, but if that's a typo, chances are it is completely wrong too.
Musescore shows a single line staff, I hope that is correct.
this is not a lilypond-specific question, but I guess I might find
something here :-) . I'm writing down some music I first made in Ardour,
with orchestral sample libraries.
I'm not quite familiar with percussion notation. I make use of wind chimes
in the music. it already seems impossible to find a good translation for it
in Dutch but finding a description of how to write it down seems too much
for google :-p.
If someone here knows of a good, in depth online reference about the rules
of percussion notation in general, and/or about how to write something like
wind chimes, I'd very much appreciate it.
I don't know how others are faring, but I can't decide what you mean
by wind chimes. Are you talking about the sort of things that half the
houses in America have hanging in the porch:

or half the church praise bands have hanging off the drumkit:

or something else?
Cheers,
