Re: Custom drumStyleTable and improvisationOn/Off

[Robert Schmaus]

Hi David,

you are right, of course - here it is:

\version "2.19.35"

#(define mydrums '(
 (bassdrum              default         #f              -3)
 (snare                 default         #f              1)
 (hihat                 cross           #f              1)
))

\score {
  \new DrumStaff {
    \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)
    \new DrumVoice \drummode {
      sn4 sn4 sn4 sn4
      \improvisationOn
      sn4 sn4 sn4 sn4
      \improvisationOff
    }
  }
}


The improvisation switch works well if one comments out the \set ... line.

Apart from that, I've played around with the whole issue and noticed 
that percussion "pitches" which are not included in the table definition 
still react to the \improvisationOn/Off directive. So my workaround for 
the time being is: using one of the percussions which I don't need for 
the score for the improvisation parts. It only needs to look good, and 
that it does, as usually ...

Thanks and have a good night,
Robert
