Re: changing notehead in themiddle of the chord

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since this is a usage question for the stable version of LilyPond,
I recommend to keep the discussion on the lilypond-user mailing
list.

I don't know any details about the drum support in LilyPond, but
as far as I know, the only way to get a different note head on
one note out of several in the same chord in the same voice is
to use the \harmonic feature:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Harmonic-notes.html#Harmonic-notes
However, this is hard coded to only provide harmonics. If you want
some other kind of note head, you could probably insert a copy of
the function find-notehead-symbol from scm/output-lib.scm, change
what it returns for style = harmonic, rename it to something like
my-find-notehead-symbol and set
\override Score.NoteHead 'glyph-name-procedure = my-find-notehead-symbol
