Thank you Martín,
That snippet has helped enormously. I had tried to incorporate
drumStyleTable earlier but it didn't work the way I was using it.
I tried StaffSymbol.line-count
= #1 and that looks good, too :)
Cheers!

Oops, missed a couple of curly braces:

drumStyleTable = #bongos-style
instrumentName = \markup { Bongo }
shortInstrumentName = \markup { Bng. }

Well, I don't use the RhythmicStaff for
bongos and wouldn't recommend it either. What I use looks
something like this:
\context DrumStaff =
"bongo"
\with
{
\override StaffSymbol.line-count = #2
drumStyleTable
= #bongos-style
instrumentName = \markup { Bongo }
shortInstrumentName = \markup { Bng. }
}
\drummode
{
boh4 bol boh bol
}
Perhaps you'll find this esthetically
pleasing as well ;-). With this setup I haven't had any
issues with MIDI. You don't even have to manually select
any MIDI instrument or do any extra configuration. At
least for me, this "just works" and is notationally
correct.
Cheers,
Martín.
Hello Martin,
No, I can use DrumStaff. I'm still experimenting with
LilyPond, finding out what works easily and what
doesn't.
Aesthetically, a RhythmicStaff looks better, so if
it's something I can accomplish without too much
effort (~1 day), I would delve deeper.
Since posting I have found that Drum_note_performer
will output MIDI, but it's a soft piano sound, so I am
now stuck at this point.
Thanks.

Hello,
is there any reason for not using DrumStaff if
that works fine for MIDI?

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to use a percussion staff for a
bongo part in a score.
staffBongo
= \drummode {
boh4_\markup
{ \sans boh } boho8 bohm8 % -- and so on...
}
partBongo
= \new RhythmicStaff \with {
}
\staffBongo
doesn't output any MIDI. Note that using a
DrumStaff works fine. The contexts under \midi
{} are the same for both DrumStaff and
RhythmicStaff. What am I doing that is
incorrect, please?
Thanks.
