Re: percussion staves

[Mats Bengtsson]

Now that I see your original question, you could do something like:

\score{
<<
 \new RhythmicStaff \with {
   instrument = "cymb."
   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
   }
   { c4 c8 c  }
 \new DrumStaff \with {
   instrument = "cast."
   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
   }
   { c8 c4 c8 }
 \new Staff \with {
   instrument = \markup{\column { "chin. bl. h" "chin. bl. m" "chin. 
bl. l" }}
   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #3
   }
   \relative c''{<<{d4 d} \\ {b b} \\ {g g} >> }
>>
}

I don't really know anything about drum notation, so you probably want to
use \drummode to get the correct note heads and I included examples of
both RhythmicStaff, DrumStaff and an ordinary Staff, just to illustrate
that they are available.
