Re: Custom drumStyleTable and improvisationOn/Off

[Robert Schmaus]

Simon, David and Thorsten,

Thanks for your replies!
I just finished my score with the workaround, but of course Thorsten's 
would have been the easier way. However, if I understand this correctly, 
this will only work if one doesn't customise the notehead itself, right? 
So, maybe this could be included in the documentation - I'll try to do 
that the next days and send it to ... well, I'll find that out, too.

Thanks again everyone!
Good Night,
Robert
