Hi Robert,

You won't believe it, but everything works "as expected":
\improvisationOn actually does set the NoteHead.style to #'slash, but in
your custom case, this #'slash will be overwritten again by your #'default
value (snare and bassdrum), and thus a standard notehead will be displayed.

Using standard drum definitions, the HiHat notehead (a cross) won't be
replaced by a slash, either.

*Solution:*
If you replace default by () or #f in your custom definition, everything
will work as with the standard definitions, because your custom definition
will not override the #'slash notehead style set by \improvisationOn any
more:

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

The original definitions use () instead of default, that's why it works
there.
Every explicitly set style in the definitions will rule out the #'slash of
\improvisationOn.

HTH,
Torsten
